Mr. Speaker, today I introduced a bill entitled the public service whistleblowing act, Bill C-351.
The bill serves three purposes: To educate public service employees on ethical practices in the workplace; to provide a means for public service employees to come forward to disclose wrongful acts or omissions in the workplace; and to protect public service employees from retaliation for acting in good faith by working to create a new level of transparency in government.
I urge all members to support the bill and force the government to honour a promise made in 1993 to pass whistleblowing legislation.
