You are a financial analyst with the highway department, Ontario Ministry of Transportation. The highway department is responsible for awarding highway construction and maintenance contracts to construction companies. Your manager, Mandy, is concerned about the costs of highway contracts. She wondered if the contractors were colluding when they submitted their bids. She also wanted to know if there are any best practices to prevent corruption that Ontario can adopt. Please: 1) explain to Mandy whether any Canadian provinces have experience dealing with corruption in the construction industry and describe the key lessons from such corruption; 2) any best practices used by the federal or provincial governments and why these practices are justified by referring to the key concepts related to accountability.
