I think the most major one has to be the protection of employees. The minister stated that as soon as this report was completed, they started this HR investigation. That's a lie.
Since day one, we made sure the HR issues were noted, because those are the most important aspect of the investigation. How can you properly investigate, when employees aren't being protected on the inside? They've known about the culture issues from day one, and those were proven to them even in May.
The most egregious thing that happened during ISED's investigation had to be that in September, while they were still investigating, another employee was fired by Leah Lawrence, and then nothing was done to protect this employee. That was during the ISED investigation. ISED was unwilling to stand up and stop that.
This employee was put under the same sort of NDA that every other employee has had to deal with, so ISED knew about this, but they were unwilling to do anything to protect employees, just as they're doing now.
Even the McCarthy Tétrault investigation that they've started has already broken confidentiality, because the name of every single person who signs up for it is shown to SDTC executives, and they can list everyone who's taking this.
The whole HR investigation has been a farce. On the other side, what we asked was not for everyone to be fired. We asked for proper investigation, and when all of this was found in May, it was then suddenly changed. The continued moving of the goalposts happened throughout this investigation, and the key issue is that because no one was protected, this has continued to lapse.
