moved for leave to introduce Bill C-356, an act to protect contractors who disclose government wrongdoing.
Mr. Speaker, we know that a number of private companies do business with the government. Contracting out accounts for close to $10 billion of business, and we also know that there are a great many irregularities in contracting with the private sector. There are sometimes illegalities and waste. This bill would protect private contractors who decide to disclose government wrongdoing, waste or other irregularities.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
