Description
On November 30, 2001 Treasury Board adopted a policy "On the Internal Disclosure of Information Concerning Wrongdoing in the Workplace". The objective of this policy is to allow public servants to bring forward information concerning wrongdoing and to ensure that they are treated fairly and are protected from reprisals when they do so in a matter consistent with the policy. In support of this policy a position known as the Public Service Integrity Officer was created. This article outlines the mandate and operation of the office. Public officials serve the Government and the public interest by providing professional and neutral advice in a manner that is consistent with certain ethical standards and values. Accordingly, when an employee has reasonable grounds to believe that another person has violated these standards he or she should be able to disclose this information through a clearly defined processes and with confidence that he or she will be treated fairly and protected from reprisals.
