Welcome to my home page. This site is intended for easy access to my resumé, my portfolio, and my bio. Sadly, however, there is a strong possibility that you are not here to see my qualifications, but to learn about my report of wrongdoing in Transport Canada. This page, then, will give a brief synopsis and a few links to relevant documents. It's minimal information, because I'm obviously biased about the situation. If you want more information, feel free to contact me at ianbron@ianbron.com. BACKGROUND The Background to My Case On December 6, 2006, I submitted a report of wrongdoing, entitled "Report to the Auditor General of Canada Concerning the Management of Transport Canada's Marine Transportation Security Framework" to the Auditor General of Canada and the Chair of the Senate Committee on National Security and Defence. I also provided a copy to the Public Service Integrity Officer. This report described serious misconduct, ethical breeches and mismanagement, putting Canadians at risk, which I and others had observed and attempted to address internally since June 2005. The Transport Canada Deputy Minister, Louis Ranger, assigned the response to the report to two individuals implicated in the report: Laureen Kinney, Director General, Marine Security, and Marc Grégoire, Assistant Deputy Minister Safety and Security. I am currently under investigation for harassment of former superiors (due to the content of my report) and for misconduct in preparing and distributing the report. In September 2007, I launched litigation against Marc Grégoire, Laureen Kinney, Gerald Frappier and Joanne St-Onge.
I encourage you to read these documents. Those familiar with responses to whistleblowers will recognize the language used in the statement of defence describing me as a lone, disgruntled employee. It's textbook. Want to Know More? As indicated above, I'm only one side of a two-party dispute. Feel free to ask questions of Transport Canada. As a guide, feel free to peruse a list of potential access to information requests:
Want to Support Me? The best way to support me is to support whistleblower rights. There are two ways you can do this: by writing politicians and by supporting whistlblower advocacy groups. Anyone wishing to send personal letters of support to me may do so through my lawyers, David Jewitt and Alison Longmore, of Jewitt McLuckie & Associates. Contact information is available on their website at www.jewittmcluckie.ca. I would also like to draw the attention of Canadians to two existing organizations that support Canadian whistleblowers:
