We were not reaching a conclusion about those issues. We were simply saying that there were sufficient cases brought forward to our attention that we felt they warranted further investigation. We have encouraged some of the CRA auditors to take their case to the Public Service Integrity Commissioner. We felt that was the best way forward.
It points to a problem here. First, many CRA staff were fearful of complaining to their superiors, were concerned about the atmosphere in the CRA; and second, our whistle-blower laws, while they've made a step forward with the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner, are still not adequate, in our view. That's why we're calling for a long overdue review of the Public Service Integrity Commissioner and that law. We think that law should be strengthened. There is not the same level of protection in the Canadian regime as in the United States, or New Zealand, or other countries. There are a lot of ways in which it could be improved. For some whistle-blowers who have blown the whistle on Canadian mining companies' practices in Africa, for example, there is no protection available for them. Very few come forward because they are threatened with being fired. They face reputational risk and not being able to find a job again, and that needs to be corrected.
