OGGO issued a report in 2017 on what needs to happen to improve whistle-blower protections, particularly in the public service. There's a long list of recommendations, but the number one recommendation is to ensure that when a whistle-blower speaks up, they are protected.
I'll give an example.
If I work for any department—it doesn't matter which one it is—and I feel uncomfortable because I feel I was sexually harassed, I will be protected as the victim. They will remove me from the workplace to ensure that I am protected at all costs.
If you blow the whistle and you stay with the same team, we put the burden of proof on you. People you have accused will try to cover it up. With the amount of stress these people get put through because they're simply not protected, we need to ensure that whistle-blowers are protected.
