I wish we could clarify NDP-5, but I understand that the clarification may feel like it takes away flexibility. Nonetheless, I like the idea of providing every available support to the people involved, so that their situation doesn't worsen and they don't have to go through situations like the ones we heard about in committee.
I therefore move to keep NDP-5 as is, but add a reference. In the French version, after the words “pour leur fournir”, it would be “le soutien prévu à l'alinéa a) de la même loi”. In the English version, after “to provide them”, it would be “support as in paragraph (a)”. Thus, we would also be introducing a reference as well to ensure that a royal recommendation is not required, in addition to putting in place whatever safety net is necessary to adequately protect whistleblowers.
