It requires the gathering and annual publication of statistics regarding the career and health trajectory of whistle-blowers as a direct performance indicator. There is a lack of direct performance indicators from PSIC. Virtually all accounts of federal whistle-blower experience in Canada reveal that careers ended, health was damaged and lives were shattered. There is no official data available regarding the career and health trajectory of whistle-blowers, and no attempt to acquire this.
Only the federal government has the information, authority and resources to obtain this information, which is inaccessible to researchers and others for reasons of confidentiality, and this is critical to any effective five-year review of the act.
Again, I'm hoping we can just vote on it.
