Thank you both for being here and for your passion to fix this. I can't say enough about it.
Thank you, Ms. Forward.
I'm also going to go to you, Mr. Sabourin.
Again, I share the absolute gratitude for your courage to be here today, the strength you have and the resolve for justice for future workers, and current workers as well, so that they may feel safe and able to come forward in the future.
Many of the accountability experts and whistle-blower advocates voice concerns with regard to the fact that the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner has declined to investigate some pretty major high-stake cases, such as issues with Phoenix, issues you've seen in your work.
Do you believe that the commissioner, who has typically been a government public servant, represents a conflict of interest—someone that's been involved like that?
