Submission on PIDA Expansion

Doctors of BC is appreciative for the opportunity to provide input on the definition of physicians as the legislative framework for expanding the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) to health authorities is developed. We have had conversations with physicians to understand their connections to health authorities and the points discussed aim to support the development of a definition that will afford the legislative protections from reprisal under PIDA to those physicians who work in or have attachment to health authorities.
