How does the Bill differ from the Treasury Board Policy on the Internal Disclosure of Information Concerning Wrongdoing in the Workplace?
A. The proposed legislation will apply to all of the federal public sector. It provides substantial protections in law from reprisal for good faith disclosure and outlines a process for having reprisals dealt with. Restitution for reprisal action can be ordered by a tribunal in a finding that reprisal took place. The Bill also strengthens the confidentiality that can be offered to people making disclosures.
