Sorry, I'm going to stop you there, Mr. Trottier, because “wrongdoing” is defined in the act as “a contravention of any Act of Parliament”, “a misuse of public funds”, “a gross mismanagement in the public sector”, “an act or omission that creates a substantial and specific danger to the life...”. This isn't about prevention when the whistle-blower is coming forward. It's about actual, identified wrongdoing of an extremely serious nature. To circle the wagons and protect— we don't want to be too tough on the wrongdoer—boggles the mind of normal Canadians, who think that if this happened in the public sector someone would go to the police, and the police would investigate, and there would be a public hearing, and, rightfully, the people would be named. And they should be shamed because they have specifically endangered the lives and the health of persons or they have grossly mismanaged the public sector funds or they've contravened an Act of Parliament. These are criminal offences. Why should public servants have more protections than the average Canadian with respect to this type of malfeasance?
