moved for leave to introduce Bill C-432, An Act to amend the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.

Mr. Speaker, 22 years ago, I decided to pursue the great adventure of developing expertise in fighting financial crimes. I made a promise during my election campaign in 2015 to help victims by contributing to improving the outcome for those who might be affected by this type of scourge.

My contribution consists in introducing this bill to amend the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
