Fisheries and Oceans Canada

Why it is here

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is listed because the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada reported a founded case of wrongdoing there to Parliament (June 2017). The Commissioner found that Fisheries and Oceans Canada withheld the results of a noise assessment and failed to inform Maritimes Region employees of a demonstrated health and safety hazard, which created a substantial and specific danger to their health and safety and was a serious breach of the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector (paragraphs 8(d) and 8(e) of the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act).
