hey now chuckleHeads - lawyerwaldo says what?
guys, guys, can you confirm said leaker provided prior disclosure to some specifically designated internal authority? Well can ya, hey? And if timely internal response didn't occur... hasn't occurred... to satisfy the concerns of said leaker, was a subsequent expedited path pursued to notify the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency? Well was it, hey chuckleHeads - well, was it?
To be protected, prior to any disclosure, the person must, before communicating or confirming the information, bring their concern to, and provide all relevant information in their possession to, his or her deputy head or, if not reasonably practical in the circumstances, the Deputy Attorney General of Canada. Should they not receive a response within a reasonable time, the person must bring his or her concern to and provided all relevant information in their possession to the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, if the person’s concern relates to an alleged offence that has been, is being or is about to be committed by another person in the purported performance of that person’s duties and functions of service for, or on behalf of, the Government of Canada and he or she has not received a response from that Agency within a reasonable time.
