That was 1991.</p>\n<p>The Auditor General says that there was a reign of terror for employees and the minister's memo policy absolutely failed. That is all we have.</p>\n<p>Instead of another research paper or another study group, will the government unequivocally commit to comprehensive, system wide whistleblower legislation?</p>",
