DID YOU KNOW THAT . . .
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act has whistleblower protection provisions. An employee of a public body may disclose to the Commissioner any information that the employee is required to keep confidential and that the employee believes ought to be disclosed because there is a risk of harm to the environment, to the health or safety of the public, or is clearly in the public interest. The employee may also disclose to the Commissioner if they believe personal information is being collected, used or disclosed in violation of the law. The employer cannot take any adverse employment action, and the employee is not liable to prosecution, unless they were acting in bad faith. The Health Information Act has similar provisions.
