Document Summary

Toll-gating refers to the contractual interaction between a person or company and the government which says a percentage of proceeds by the company must be remitted to the party in power. An example we covered was the airbus affair. Ial was used to transfer funds and receive commissions of up to three per cent for every aircraft sold to canada. What makes this toll-gating is clarified in the agreement which stipulates the contract will be terminated if there is a change of government. Therefore, knowing now what we know about the affair, it was clear these commissions were being remitted to the party in power, and only that party. Bribery refers to the offering or accepting of money, goods, or services in exchange for a favour. An example of bribery is admitted by head of groupcation marketing inc. , jean brault. His testimony shed light on the pressure of financials in politics and the sponsorship scandal.
