A report released Tuesday by the U.S.-based Government Accountability Project and the U.K.-based International Bar Association surveyed whistleblowing frameworks in 37 countries with such laws to determine whether they are actually working.

Canada was criticized for ignoring its own legal requirement for periodic reviews of the effectiveness of its whistleblower law. Although it should be reviewed every five years, it wasn’t until 2017 that a parliamentary committee studied the act, recommending 25 changes — suggestions that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government ignored.
