[1] The Act applies to the organizations named on Schedules I-V of the Financial Administration Act and the Crown corporations and the other public bodies set out in Schedule 1 of the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
[2] In 2007, workshops took place on March 13-14, March 21-22, April 3-4 and June 5-6. In 2008, workshops took place on February 13-14, February 19-20 and March 26-27.
[3] This figure does not include the three organizations excluded from the definition of "public sector" in the Act (the Canadian Forces, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Communications Security Establishment) or the organization that requires an Order in Council to become subject to the Act (the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board). Special operating agencies are considered to be a portion of their parent organizations, with the exception of Passport Canada. There are four organizations that are not currently operational (Canada Emission Reduction Incentives Agency, Canada Investment and Savings, the Corporation for the Mitigation of Mackenzie Gas Project Impacts and the Queens Quay West Land Corporation).
[4] One organization reported "fewer than 10" inquiries, which are not included in the total number of inquiries.
[5] The sum of disclosures acted upon and not acted upon is five fewer than the total number of disclosures made. This is likely because decisions had not yet been made concerning whether to act on the remaining disclosures by the end of the reporting period.
[6] Some organizations reported corrective measures without having found wrongdoing or systemic problems. This is explained by the fact that some incidents or situations that do not fall under the definition of "wrongdoing" in the Act may bring to light minor issues that the organizations have addressed.
