  • Discussion Paper for the Select Committee on Whistle-Blower Protection
    Yukon Legislative Assembly SELECT COMMITTEE ON WHISTLE-BLOWER PROTECTION nd 32 Yukon Legislative Assembly Discussion paper for the Select Committee on Whistle-blower Protection The Committee The Yukon Legislative Assembly established the Select Committee on Whistle-blower Protection in May 2007. The Members appointed to the Committee were: • Hon. Ted Staffen (MLA – Riverdale North), Speaker of the Yukon Legislative Assembly and the chair of the committee, • Steve Cardiff (MLA – Mount Lorne), • Eric Fairclough (MLA – Mayo-Tatchun), • Hon. Jim Kenyon (MLA – Porter Creek North); and • Steve Nordick (MLA – Klondike). The Committee’s Mandate The motion appointing the Committee instructed it “to report to the House its findings and recommendations respecting the central issues that should be addressed in whistle-blower protection legislation…” The Committee will not draft a Whistle-blower Protection bill. Its role is to assess the central issues and gather views about what should be included in such a bill and report those views to the Legislative Assembly. Other steps will be taken – perhaps even further public consultation – before a Whistle-blower Protection Act is introduced in the Assembly. The Committee’s role, therefore, is a first, but important, step in determining whether Yukon will have whistle-blower protection legislation and, if so, what form that legislation will take. The Discussion Paper The motion appointing the Committee focused on 10 central issues. The purpose of this discussion paper is to explain these central issues in further detail and provide an opportunity for groups and individuals to submit their views on whistle-blower protection legislation to the Committee. What is Whistle-blowing? Employees have a duty of loyalty and confidentiality to their employer and can be disciplined if they disclose information that they should not.
