LETTER CONCERNING WHISTEBLOWING

March 14, 2005

Ms. Nycole Turmel
National President
Public Service Alliance of Canada
233 Gilmour Street
Ottawa, Ontario K2P 0P1

Re: Whistleblowing

Dear Ms. Turmel:

This letter is to follow up on discussions that took place during the course of negotiations on the subject of Whistleblowing.

Employees who make a disclosure of wrongdoing during a Parliamentary proceeding, official enquiry, to a supervisor or designated senior officer in their department, or to the Public Service Integrity Officer, whether it concerns a misuse of public funds, an illegal act, gross mismanagement or a substantial and specific danger to health or safety, shall be protected from reprisal, including but not limited to dismissal, suspension, demotion and financial penalty. In addition a disclosure may be made to the public in circumstances where the employee believes that a serious offence under an Act of Parliament or the legislature of a province, or an imminent risk of substantial and specific danger to the health or safety of persons or the environment exists, and there is not sufficient time to make the disclosure to the above identified officials.

Employees who believe that a person has taken a reprisal against them, in violation of the principle stated above, shall have the right to file a grievance directly to the final level of the grievance process. Such a grievance may be referred to adjudication as provided by section 92 of the Public Service Staff Relations Act.

This letter shall remain in force until Bill C-11, An Act to Establish a Procedure for the Disclosure of Wrongdoings in the Public Sector, including the Protection of Persons who Disclose the Wrongdoings, or any other act to establish a procedure for the disclosure of wrongdoings in the public sector, becomes law.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Reg Alcock
