There are already a number of jurisdictions in Canada that offer protection to contractors who come forward with concerns consistent with what's in Bill C-290.
The best practice standard is that you protect any person, any worker, who comes forward with a concern. We've heard some concerns about jurisdictional issues, but to me this is a bit of a red herring. What we're trying to do is regulate the behaviour of federal public servants. They're the ones making the reprisals. They're the ones who are probably central to any wrongdoing that's been disclosed.
