S4 PEP classification & methodology

ClassificationLevel 2 (Legislature) — Senior officials one step below the apex — national/supranational legislators, ambassadors, deputy ministers, SOE leadership.ca_parliamentmethodology

A source-attributed classification requiring enhanced due diligence — not an allegation of wrongdoing and not a sanction. The public methodology (levels, branches, decay model) is linked in the source registry below.

Retention & decayOnce former, this classification is retained for 20 years after leaving office (the Level 2 retention window); this record is within that window. EU AMLD requires enhanced measures to continue for at least 12 months after a PEP leaves office; the retention windows applied here are deliberately longer.methodologyEU AMLD

S5 Sanctions & watchlist cross-check

No sanctions or watchlist match found in our resolved corpus for this record as of 2026-07-11 (list version ca_parliament@2026-07-11). This is not a clearance: it reflects our sources and our precision-first resolution method, and does not discharge an institution's own screening obligations.

S6 Relatives & close associates (RCA)

No relatives or close associates are recorded in our sources as of 2026-07-11. This reflects our current source coverage — not a finding that none exist. FATF R.12 extends EDD obligations to relatives and close associates; institutions must establish these through their own KYC.

S7 Jurisdiction & country-risk context

Jurisdiction of office / nationalityCanadaca_parliament

FATF statusCanada is not on the FATF Call-for-Action ("black") or Increased-Monitoring ("grey") lists as of 2026-06-19 (FATF Plenary, Paris, 17-19 June 2026; both statements checked). Source: FATF.FATF listFATF list

Corruption Perceptions IndexCanada scores 75/100 in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 (rank 16; 100 = perceived cleanest) — a published perception measure of public-sector corruption in the jurisdiction.

Country-risk indicators are published facts about the jurisdiction of office — never a score of, or finding about, this person.

S8 EDD obligation indicators

Indicated EDD postureStandard EDD attention. A deterministic, non-numeric statement of which EDD obligations published regulation attaches to the published classification facts below — not a risk score, not a verdict on this person, and not a substitute for the institution's own risk rating.rubricFATF R.12

InputSeniority: Level 2 (Legislature).ca_parliamentmethodology

InputStatus: former office-holder, within the retention window.ca_parliamentmethodology

InputSanctions cross-check: no confirmed designation in our resolved corpus as of 2026-07-11 (see the cross-check section; not a clearance).

InputJurisdiction country-risk status: FATF/CPI indicators are reported in the jurisdiction & country-risk section above, but are not yet an input to this band derivation — rubric v1 derives from seniority, status, and the sanctions cross-check only (when country-risk becomes a rubric input, a FATF-listed jurisdiction elevates the band one step).

Rubric v1.0.0Band derivation (deterministic, code-owned): Level 1 → Higher, Level 2 → Elevated, Level 3/RCA → Standard; a former office-holder within the retention window steps down one band, past it rests at Standard; a resolver-confirmed designation always sets the top band; an unconfirmed status never lowers the band; jurisdiction country-risk indicators are reported in the jurisdiction section but are not yet a band input — FATF-listed-jurisdiction elevation lands with a future rubric version. No numeric score exists anywhere in this derivation.

FATF Recommendation 12 attaches four mandatory measures to foreign PEPs — risk-management systems to determine PEP status; senior-management approval; reasonable measures to establish source of wealth and funds; enhanced ongoing monitoring — and applies them to domestic PEPs and international-organisation officials on a risk-sensitive basis. Foreign-vs-domestic depends on the institution's own jurisdiction, which this report cannot know.FATF R.12

The institution's own risk rating, senior-management approval, and source-of-funds verification remain its sole responsibility (standing notice above).

S9 Source of wealth / source of funds

Not assessed. Source-of-wealth and source-of-funds verification are obligations the regulated institution performs on customer-provided information (FATF R.12(c); EU AMLR Art. 42). They cannot be supplied by a screening-data vendor and are outside the scope of this screening aid.

S10 Adverse media

Not assessed. This report does not include adverse-media screening as of 2026-07-11. The absence of adverse-media content here is not a clean bill and does not discharge an institution's own negative-news screening.

S11 Ongoing monitoring & freshness

What changes here: the report regenerates whenever this record's source data changes, in the same daily refresh that drives customer re-screening; unchanged data produces a byte-identical report.
