Ontario Whistleblower Protection Legislation
Earlier this week, the Ontario legislature passed the Public Service of Ontario Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006.
Among other things, the legislation, that should receive royal assent as soon as next week, establishes a process by which public servants may disclose wrongdoing in the public service of Ontario and be protected from reprisals.
According to a CBC Online news report: "Whistleblower protection is already in place for provincial employees in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan."
