Frequently asked questions
After investigating, if we conclude that the person has indeed suffered reprisal, we recommend corrective action. We contact the highest-ranking administrative official within the public body concerned. If the circumstances warrant it, we contact the minister responsible for the public body.
When we investigate what might be an infraction and we feel that the evidence is sufficient, we forward the file to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions, which determines whether there are grounds for prosecution.
Anyone found guilty of an infraction is liable to a fine ranging from $2,000 to $20,000. The fine can reach $10,000 to $250,000 for businesses, associations or legal persons. These fines are doubled for repeat offences.
See the Handling reprisal complaints section for further information.
We take all necessary measures to protect your identity and that of the people who cooperate in the investigation.

Important: We can convey information to bodies responsible for the prevention, detection or repression of crime or statutory offences.
Are you filing a complaint about reprisal as the result of a disclosure? As part of the investigation we conduct, we necessarily reveal the identity of the whistleblower to the public body or the person who allegedly carried out reprisal.
