Mr. Chair, I'm not sure if the group here is aware, but last year Canada's Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act, which provides whistle-blower protection, was ranked last when compared to 50 other countries. This government was given an opportunity to update whistle-blower protections back in 2017, but accepted none of the government operations committee's recommendations to improve whistle-blower protections. Finally, the Bloc, of course, my colleagues, put forward a piece of legislation to improve whistle-blower protections, which is now being held up in the Senate and which was filibustered for weeks by the Liberals.
Mr. Chair, unfortunately, the testimony we are receiving here today from Madame Bolduc corroborates the idea that, frankly, public servants are not safe in speaking the truth in this Liberal government.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
