SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment promotes the public interest by establishing a regime
for dealing with wrongdoing in the Public Service of Canada. The
regime will be centred in the Public Service Commission, under the
direction of a commissioner to be designated as the Public Interest
Commissioner.
|
|
|
|
Under the regime, employees will be able to give notice of wrongful
acts or omissions. The Commissioner will be able to investigate and
report allegations of wrongful acts or omissions and see that actual
wrongdoing from the Commissioner, and will be expected to deal with
it.
|
|
|
|
The Public Interest Commissioner will ensure a positive
environment for the regime by providing for education on ethical
practices in the workplace and on the rights and responsibilities of
employees under this Act with respect to wrongdoing in the Public
Service.
