Mr. Speaker, whistle-blowers with the courage to report federal wrongdoing have to wait three years for an investigation not to be completed, but merely started. Imagine how that must deter people from speaking out. Imagine how it damages the public's trust at a time when the federal government is getting itself mired in one scandal after another, like the ArriveCAN or SDTC scandals.
The Public Sector Integrity Commissioner is asking for the resources necessary to process the information reported in a timely manner.
Is the government going to provide those resources right away?
