Thank you, Chair.
And thank you to our guests. It's good to see you again.
I wanted to start off with the fact that the record almost seems to be too good. I say that not because I'm looking for things that don't exist, but because I think it's interesting.
I'll get into a little bit of some of the points you made about how you see your office and its mandate.
I was on the committee for Bill C-2. For the record, I don't steer away from the word “whistle-blower”. I understand why you have it in your legislation. Many of the people I've worked with consider themselves whistle-blowers, and it's not a pejorative term to them. In fact, it's something they did for the public interest and they don't see it as a negative; they see it as something they did with integrity. So I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, perhaps.
You mentioned and enumerated the cases and what happened with each of them, and what direction they went, and I appreciate that. But I just find it unbelievable, to be frank, that we have no cases of wrongdoing to date. As I said, I think of this in terms of the fact that we've had an office in operation for not quite two years, but one that has being ongoing. I appreciate that it's new, but I just find it strange that we don't have any cases of wrongdoing.
So my question is, do you find that strange?
