Watchdog Says Funding Needed to Avoid the ‘Collapse’ of Whistle-Blowing

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.
