The Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (French: Loi sur la protection des fonctionnaires divulgateurs d’actes répréhensibles) came into force in Canada on April 15, 2007. The Act creates two distinct processes: a disclosure process and a reprisal complaints process. It also creates two new bodies: the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner (PSIC) and the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal.
