Message from the Chief Human Resources Officer
I am pleased to present this report on activities related to the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act as carried out by federal public sector organizations during 2008–09.
It is clear that organizations across the public sector have continued with effective implementation of the Act and that the Act’s reprisal protections have been effective in supporting public servants who make disclosures under the Act. The activity reflected in this report is a sign that the procedures established under the Act are contributing to integrity in public sector organizations.
Public service renewal was a high priority in 2008–09, and it remains a high priority in 2009-10. Work related to the codes of conduct required under the Act will continue to be an essential part of our activities. The importance of our public sector values cannot be overstated, especially in times of significant change.
We look forward to continuing to support chief executives in carrying out their responsibilities under the Act. At the same time, within our mandate as the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer for the Government of Canada, we will continue to provide leadership in values and ethics and promote ethical practices across the public sector.
