Introduction
Section 38.1 of the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (PSDPA) requires that the Chief Human Resources Officer prepare an annual report for the President of the Treasury Board to table in Parliament. The report must provide information on activities related to the disclosures made in public sector organizations that are subject to the Act. The present document, the fourth annual report under the PSDPA, covers the reporting requirements for the period of April 1, 2010, to March 31, 2011.
The PSDPA establishes procedures for handling allegations of wrongdoing and complaints of reprisal and provides concrete support for grounding public sector culture firmly in values and ethics. For details on the origin and intent of the Act and definitions of key terms used in this report, please refer to the Annual Report on the "Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act" 2007–08[1] and the information related to the Act provided on the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer's (OCHRO's) website.[2]
This report includes information provided by public sector organizations related to disclosures made according to internal procedures established under the Act, as reported to OCHRO by the senior officer or chief executive of each of these organizations. It does not cover disclosures or reprisal complaints made to the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada, which are covered by the Commissioner's report to Parliament.
