Agreed.
I have another question for Ms. Stoddart or Mr. Kosseim. In Bill C-2 from this session and Bill C-11 from the previous session, which you examined, the term “whistleblower” is used. Naturally, everyone focusses on this word. However, there is another notion, which we learned about within the framework of the Gomery Commission,that of “informer”. Do you see the distinction between the two terms?
A whistleblower is someone who did not assist in the commission of a crime, while an informer is an individual within the system who, in order to obtain specific rights... For example, Mr. Guité, who was within the system, could have sold out his friends by revealing everything they had done in order to reduce the penalty he would face.
Does Bill C-2 provide this possibility?
