How to disclose a wrongdoing?

Have you witnessed a wrongdoing committed or about to be commited  within a public body? Or do you have the information to demonstrate this without having witnessed it directly? 

You can make a disclosure to the Protecteur du citoyen. Your information will be handled confidentially.

Disclosure in two steps

  1. Make sure you have come to the right place.

    Is the act committed or about to be committed considered a wrongdoing within the meaning of the Act to facilitate the disclosure of wrongdoings relating to public bodies?

    Was the wrongdoing committed within a public body concerned by the Act? 

    Have you witnessed a situation where the rights of people who use public health services and social services have been breached? Report it instead.

  2. Disclose now:

Anyone can disclose a wrongdoing committed within or relating to a public body.

You do not need to be an employee of the government or public body concerned to make a disclosure.

You may know that wrongdoing has occurred without knowing exactly who did it. This should not prevent you from disclosing the information you have.
