For very much the same reasons, Mr. Chair, I'd like to recommend that we don't carry clause 9. Adding the term “former public servant” is unnecessary. We heard that in one of the responses that Ms. Stevens gave.
Anyone may provide the Integrity Commissioner with information on wrongdoing, and former public servants are already expressly covered by section 19.1, as I pointed out in the previous argument, with a right to complain of reprisal.
This imposes a burden on them, Mr. Chair, that just really isn't necessary.
