An advocacy group for those who reveal wrongdoing says it cannot support a new task force looking at the federal whistleblowing regime because it lacks someone with "lived experience" as an actual whistleblower.
Fortier appointed the task force in late November to look at opportunities to improve the federal disclosure process and strengthen protections and supports for public servants who come forward to disclose wrongdoing. The review will also consider the recommendations of the 2017 report issued by the House of Commons committee on government operations and estimates, which considered testimony from 52 witnesses, Salem said.
