Protect Whistleblowers Who Protect Canadians

The Issue

People have tried to protect you and your family by blowing the whistle on governments wasting billions of dollars, approving dangerous drugs, and covering up scandals, and by blowing the whistle on big businesses gouging you, selling you hazardous products, and covering up pollution and oil spills.

These whistleblowers have been harassed, fired from their jobs, sued, silenced and hurt by governments and big businesses – all because Canadian whistleblower protection laws are weak and enforcement is negligently bad.

A House of Commons committee of MPs unanimously called for key changes to strengthen whistleblower protection in their June 2017 report.

The federal government is reviewing the whistleblower protection law right now. Opposition parties are united in trying to push through changes to the law.

Please sign this petition calling on Prime Minister Trudeau and other federal party leaders to make key changes to protect whistleblowers who protect you and your family.

Your time to be heard and counted is now!
