Why do we ask complainants for personal information? - video with transcription

Hello,

The Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act includes provisions that protect whistleblowers from reprisal. This protection applies to federal public sector employees who have made a protected disclosure of wrongdoing.

When submitting a reprisal complaint, you are required to provide sufficient personal information to enable our team to assess your eligibility for the protections provided under the Act and to contact you as necessary.

You may be asked to participate on multiple occasions throughout the investigation. This may include providing additional evidence or information regarding the alleged reprisal, participating in interviews, or being invited to attempt to resolve the matter through conciliation with the assistance of an expert.

Thanks for your interest in the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada.
