Canada’s War on Whistleblowers

In more than 15 years of operation, costing over $100 million, Canada’s federal whistleblower law has not protected a single whistleblower. For the more than 500 people reporting reprisals against them, Canada’s law has only made their lives worse. Join the discussion with a distinguished panel of experts about why this is, what it has meant for the public, and what can be done to protect those who speak up in the public interest.
