Frequently Asked Questions
Make a complaint
This helps us process the information and match the documents with the right complaint file. Similarly, we ask that you provide your Protecteur du citoyen file number, if you have one.
Are you a government department or health and social services employee? Please add your title, extension number, given name and surname. This will make it easier to process the file.
No. The Protecteur du citoyen has no jurisdiction in that area. Your complaint must be made to the Police Ethics Commissioner instead.

The Protecteur du citoyen may release information in a report if it deems it to be in the public interest or appropriate, regardless of whether a wrongdoing has been committed. Likewise if it considers that the public body concerned by its recommendations has failed to take satisfactory action within a reasonable time, even though the minister responsible for the body has been notified of the situation.
Information may also be disclosed in our activity report or in a special report submitted to the National Assembly, or in public comments. The information may include the name of the public body concerned, the period during which the wrongdoing was committed, the recommendations made, the action taken and any information likely to help prevent a wrongdoing.
No names are mentioned. The Protecteur du citoyen takes the necessary measures to protect the identity of the whistleblower, witnesses and the person implicated. This means that a report is published after a reasonable assessment of whether identities can be protected. The same applies if we decide to comment on an audit or investigation, deeming the situation to be in the public interest.
See the How am I protected? section for information about the protection you are entitled to when you disclose a wrongdoing.
