Anti-Corruption, Public Confidence, and Corporate Transparency
Anti-corruption, public confidence, and corporate transparency are interconnected principles necessary for building trust in both government and the private sector. Anti-corruption efforts aim to prevent and address unethical practices, ensuring that public resources are used responsibly, and that decision-making is fair and accountable. Promoting corporate transparency means that companies openly share information about their operations, financial practices, and governance, reducing opportunities for corruption. This builds public confidence, as Canadians can trust that organizations are acting in their best interests.

Designing Inclusive Government Programs and Services
Designing inclusive government programs and services means creating policies and services that meet the needs of all Canadians. This approach ensures equal access to resources, opportunities, and support, regardless of factors such as race, gender, disability and income level. By incorporating feedback from affected communities, these programs are designed to be easy to use, fair, and responsive, fostering a sense of belonging and participation for everyone, and ensuring that programs and services effectively serve the communities they are intended to support.
