Are you protected against reprisal? - video with transcription
Text version of the video statement
Hello,
To be protected under the Act three criteria must be met:
- You have reported wrongdoing or participated in an investigation.
That means that you have either reported alleged wrongdoing to your supervisor, to a Senior Officer in your organization, or to our Office. Alternatively, you may have reported wrongdoing during a Parliamentary proceeding or a procedure established under another Act of Parliament, or have been lawfully required to report wrongdoing.
Please note that reporting wrongdoing to the media or through social media is usually not considered for protection against reprisal. - At the time you reported wrongdoing or participated in an investigation, you were a federal public servant. Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and employees of federal Crown corporations are included.
- The adverse action must have been taken against you because you reported wrongdoing or participated in an investigation.
Thanks for your interest in the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada.
