Verbatim policy language as published by PSIC on the main Forms page (the central directory for all downloadable submission forms):
NOTE: The Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner does not accept disclosures of wrongdoing or reprisal complaints via email due to security and privacy concerns. The majority of communication between the Office and you will be undertaken via regular mail correspondence or by telephone.
| Channel | Details | Durability of written record |
|---|---|---|
| Online web form | https://www.psic-ispc.gc.ca/en/online-forms | No save-and-resume · 30-minute inactivity timeout purges all entered data |
| Physical mail | PO Box 987, Ottawa, ON · K1P 5R1 | Durable but slow · no delivery confirmation unless Canada Post tracked service purchased |
| Telephone | 613-941-6400 / 1-866-941-6400 | Not written · not durable · no copy retained by the disclosing party |
For security reasons, after a period of more than 30 minutes of inactivity, your session will be timed out. You will lose all information and your form will not be saved.
For a disclosure involving a 21-year cross-border record of institutional misconduct, thirty minutes without a save-and-resume function is not an accessible intake mechanism. It is a barrier of form dressed as a barrier of security.
| Section | Obligation |
|---|---|
| s. 16 | Permits protected disclosures to be made to the Commissioner |
| s. 22 | Commissioner's duty to "receive" and "deal with" disclosures "in a timely and effective manner" |
| s. 38(2)(b) | Annual report mandate — Commissioner must report "number of disclosures received" |
| s. 39 | Grants discretion over office operations |
Section 22's duty to "receive" and "deal with" disclosures "in a timely and effective manner" is the operative statutory standard. A thirty-minute single-session web form with no save-and-resume, backed only by postal mail or telephone, is not a reasonable interpretation of "timely and effective" in 2026 for a federal body whose entire statutory mandate is receiving written disclosures. The discretion in s. 39 is discretion to operate the office effectively — not discretion to disable the only intake mechanism that produces a durable, verifiable, contemporaneous written record held by both parties.
| Fiscal year | New disclosures received |
|---|---|
| 2022–23 | 227 |
| 2023–24 | 331 |
| 2024–25 | 348 (total processing files 450 including carryovers) |
| 2025–26 | Preliminary projections in the 2026–27 Departmental Plan suggest sustained increase exceeding 2024–25 levels |
Disclosure volume is rising. The need for accessible, durable, written intake is rising. Yet the durable written channel has been disabled.
The U.S. OSC is the analogous federal body — the office that receives whistleblower disclosures from federal employees under the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (as amended).
An individual can file a disclosure with OSC:
(i) Electronically at:https://osc.gov;
(ii) By email atinfo@osc.gov;
(iii) By mail to: U.S. Office of Special Counsel, 1730 M Street NW, Suite 218, Washington, DC 20036-4505.
Email is listed as a valid submission channel — explicitly, in published federal regulation.
| Citation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 5 CFR § 1800.3(b)(3)(ii) | OSC regulation expressly listing email as a submission channel |
| 5 U.S.C. § 1213 | Special Counsel's statutory duty to review disclosures within 45 days to determine "substantial likelihood" of wrongdoing |
| "Independent and secure channel" requirement | OSC satisfies this via encrypted web filing PLUS email PLUS mail — three durable channels, not by disabling email |

| Durable intake channels | Postal mail only (telephone not durable) | Web + email + mail (three options) |
| Justification for email refusal | "Security and privacy concerns" | Not applicable — email accepted with secure handling |
| Most recent reported disclosure volume | 348 (2024–25) | 2,535 (FY 2025) |
| Population served | ~400,000 federal public servants | ~2.3 million federal civilian employees |
| Disclosures per 100,000 eligible | ~87 | ~110 |
The disclosure rate in Canada is 79% of the United States rate, despite similar institutional missions, similar common-law traditions, and the same 2026 threat landscape. The U.S. accommodates email under its governing regulation. Canada's refusal to do so is not a security necessity — it is a policy choice that suppresses intake.
