QUEBEC — The last year was busy for Quebec’s anti-corruption unit, which released an annual report Wednesday showing a rising number of whistleblower reports and convictions.

“Practically all of our indicators are up,” Eric Rene, a lawyer who is interim head of the force, told a news conference in Quebec City.

The unit, known as UPAC, said 19 people were charged in criminal cases and 18 people were convicted during the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, while 265 individuals or companies were fined during that same period.
