@9VRBTLC4mos4MO
Yes, but only if the information was legally obtained, and the release of the information would not be a threat to national security.
@8PYJ4274yrs4Y
It depends on the individual circumstances of each case.
@8P784MT4yrs4Y
It depends on the political party and what Canadians think about this issue.
@8P3F3JT4yrs4Y
Whistleblowers must be protected.
@8NZWYH64yrs4Y
Yes and whistle blowing should be encouraged as it would be in most other work places, if rules are not being followed report it immediately.
@tofutofu4yrs4Y
Yes, definitely. Transparency needs to be prioritized and businesses and officials (etc.) need to be held responsible for their actions. Whistleblowers deserve protection, not prosecution. Finding information through illegal means is still done with the benefit and intention of bringing to light harmful and illegal activities of often times powerful people and businesses, so I do not think one should ever be punished when trying to achieve transparency.
@8CRV6LZ4yrs4Y
Yes and make sure they work and are easy and effective to the whistleblower.
