Government Operations committee  Am I opening?

Government Operations committee  Sure. Mr. Chair and members, this is a privilege, and thank you to members Garon and Vignola. In 2004 I provided the first of many testimonies on the tenets of effective whistle-blowing legislation, but rather than protect truth-tellers, the government imposed oppressive anti-free speech regimes.

Government Operations committee  Thank you. I have learned sobering truths. Despite winning, decades of being in a subterfuge of corruption, lies and cover-up leaves lasting wounds, but the deepest cut is loss: loss of time, hope, vocation, community, and most of all, the loss of my little brother who, with special needs, counted on me.
