Obviously, we have to deal with jurisdictional powers—it's constitutional. I think what needs to be understood is that it starts at the top. Once the Prime Minister and his cabinet and then his party and Parliament signal that there's going to be strong whistle-blowing protection for federally covered employees, that starts a cascade effect.
I've collaborated with provinces. They looked to what was happening at the federal level because, as pioneers, there was a sense of “how do we do this?” A very poor precedent got set at the federal level, and the provinces followed.
When our government turns this around and does the right thing federally, I am quite certain the provinces will follow.
