NDP whistleblower bill gains Liberal support

An NDP bill to expand protection for public sector workers who speak out about wrongdoing in the workplace has gained support from the McNeil government.

Bill 60 expands on the previous NDP government’s Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoing Act, and includes government agencies, boards, and commissions – including teachers and nurses.
