SUMMARY |
|
|
|
The purpose of this enactment is to protect members of the Public
Service of Canada from retaliation for making, in good faith, allegations
of wrongdoing and to provide a means for making such allegations in
confidence to the Auditor General. The Auditor General may determine
that the report is without substance or made in bad faith, may investigate
and report on the matter to the responsible minister and shall report any
substantive matter and the reponse of the minister to Parliament. Under
the present practices of the House of Commons such a report could be
referred to a committee by the House.

|
The employee is protected from disciplinary action provided the
report is made in good faith. Mistakes made by the employee as to facts
or conclusions are not in themselves evidence of bad faith.
