OTTAWA MPs attempted Wednesday to stop the Liberal government’s foot-dragging on reforming the whistleblower law, demanding changes that could make public servants more comfortable coming forward with allegations of wrongdoing.
Conservative MP Kelly McCauley introduced a motion at the House of Commons’ government operations committee to retable a 2017 report that recommended more than 25 changes to the law. At the time, the Treasury Board president, Scott Brison, had agreed with the committee that improvements were needed to the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act. But advocates say nothing was done.
