Your protection
Under the Competition Act, your employer cannot dismiss, suspend, demote, discipline, harass, or otherwise disadvantage you, or deny you a benefit of employment because you provided information under the whistleblowing program that was given in good faith and that you reasonably believe to be true.
Whistleblowers are also protected by other laws, including the Criminal Code, that make it an offence for an employer to take disciplinary measures, or to threaten to do so, because the employee has provided or will provide information to someone who enforces federal law.
