Watchdog warns that the ‘whistle-blowing regime’ is at risk, urges funding

Canada’s integrity watchdog has issued an urgent funding request to the federal government warning the “whistle-blowing regime” is at risk.

Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada Harriet Solloway sent a letter to Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali last week asking for a one-time injection of $6.7-million and around $14.3-million in additional funding per year.
