Ms. Christine Normandin (Saint-Jean, BQ)
Madam Speaker, the Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec spoke out against the government's source hunting. It fears that Ottawa is discouraging whistle-blowers when it should in fact be protecting them. It is concerned, and rightly so, because Canada has the weakest whistle-blower legislation in the world. According to the International Bar Association, Canada ranks 50th out of 50. That is why the Bloc Québécois has introduced Bill C‑290 to better protect public servants who blow the whistle. Will the government support our bill instead of basically going on a witch hunt trying to track down sources within its own ranks?
