There are lots of recommendations. I think the main one has to be that the federal government needs to provide an outlet to enable all these employees to go into the federal service. That is the key thing that needs to happen, because, even to this day, with this investigation that's happening on the HR side, there are people who have been abused for so long that it's almost impossible for them to trust the situation, especially when you consider how ISED botched this right at the end.
All of the trust that existed is completely gone. Even with this McCarthy Tétrault investigation, no one really believes it's going to go anywhere, but that's the only choice everyone has. They're going to try to see if it goes anywhere, but what needs to really happen is what Brian Masse said—the federal government needs to provide employees the opportunity to leave SDTC and go somewhere else. That's where they can then provide all of the testimony that's required. That's the only way you can actually move forward, because no one feels safe, even to this day, because the ISED bureaucracy and the minister are unwilling to let them have that safety.
The government is the ultimate power in this situation. SDTC is funded by taxpayer dollars, 100% from ISED. How can they say they had no control over HR? How can they say they don't have the ability to protect employees? This is insanity.
