2004年11月27日至12月8日,笔者随高检院组织的代表团赴加拿大进行考察,对加拿大的司法体制、侦查职能管辖、反贪污贿赂的立法与实践进行了广泛、深入的了解。加拿大在惩治贪污贿赂方面的法律规定及侦查实践给我们留下了深刻印象。尽管中加两国在法律制度、文化背景等方面均存在较大差异,但组织和利用有限的社会资源,迅速有效地揭露和惩罚犯罪是两国司法机关面临的共同任务。 From November 27, 2004 to December 8, 2004, the author went to Canada with the delegation organized by the Higher People’s Procuratorate to conduct an extensive and in-depth understanding of Canada’s legislation and practice of the judicial system, the investigation function and the anti-graft and bribery . We are deeply impressed by Canada’s legal provisions and investigation practices in punishing corruption and bribery. Although China and Canada differ greatly in legal system and cultural background, organizing and utilizing limited social resources to expose and punish crimes promptly and effectively is a common task confronting the judiciary of the two countries.
