Well, if I can just address the one concern Ms. Duncan brought up, which is that she wants to broaden the scope of this whistleblower protection to include all environmental legislation, under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act, who is covered by the PSDPA? The Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act “covers all employees in federal departments and agencies, most Crown corporations and the RCMP”. So broadening this to include just the environment department does not give it any greater scope than is already there through the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act, and it would create confusion and uncertainty if one changed and the other didn't, and we would have a dog's breakfast in dealing with these kinds of complaints going forward.
This is not the right place to do this.
