It starts with us
Everyone has a role to play to help prevent and manage wrongdoing. Respect for Democracy, Respect for People, Integrity, Stewardship, and Excellence are the values that drive the Canadian Federal Public Service, and guide us in our daily duties. While the vast majority of employees abide by these core values, there are rare instances in which wrongdoing does occur in our workplace. Upholding these values is paramount in upholding integrity and the public trust in government, and by disclosing wrongdoing; you help ensure the highest ethical standards of the Canadian Public Service.
The Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (PSDPA) provides a mechanism for employees to make disclosures in the public interest if they can show that a wrongdoing has been or is about to be committed. Under the PSDPA, employees can be assured that they will be protected from reprisals when they make disclosures or take part in investigations.
