AdamSmith,
There certainly is a 'Collective' part in the description of Integrity;
For instance, "Integrity and the Role of the Pharmacist:
Abstract:
Benjamin's definition of integrity as a triadic relation is used as a starting point. That definition is: specific selected values and principles, pubic claiming of those values and principles as one's own, and behavior consistent with what one has claimed. Five contexts for considering moral integrity are identified: personal, political, occupational-individual, occupational-collective, and biographical. Finally, two substantive values and one principle are suggested logically necessary for professional integrity in pharmacy: courage, fortitude, and respect for persons."

Respectfully, If the CWB were managed with the same professional integrity on a collective basis as Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, we would not be having this discussion.
It is a very sad state of affair that our legal community, both judges and lawyers, miss the mark much too often... on this very important topic... that is at the very base of our civilisation in Canada!
Far too often "historic" precedent over rules common law principal & maxims in Canada!
Getting away with a breach of conduct... leads to an acceptance of that conduct as being acceptable!
