Can the person in charge of ethics and integrity handle disclosures of wrongdoing in the same way as the Protecteur du citoyen?

No. The person in charge of ethics and integrity must refer potential whistleblowers or people wishing to file a complaint to the Protecteur du citoyen in the event of reprisals related to a disclosure.
