Mr. Chair, I want to move my amendment. I am a little late in doing so, but it is still important. The amendment protects whistle-blowers from being reprimanded or accused of anything. It also aims to prevent their identity from being revealed if they disclose sensitive information to protect the public interest. This is about protecting whistle-blowers, which we may have forgotten in the analysis we're completing of the bill.
In my opinion, it's relevant to support whistle-blowers who protect our systems, and thus to protect the identity of those who provide the information. I think that makes sense. I don't know if my colleagues share my feeling that this was missing from Bill C‑8.
