Canadians for Accountability is a new organization created by a group of grassroots whistleblowers and accountability activists. Our mission is to advance integrity and accountability and to help and advocate for whistleblowers in all parts of Canadian society.
The founding President of Canadians for Accountability is Allan Cutler, well known for his role in exposing the Sponsorship Scandal. After retirement, he was approached by other whistleblowers looking for support and advice.
Although his own ordeal was over by early 2007, Allan saw the need to create a group to support whistleblowers in all sectors – government, business and volunteer. He gathered a few local whistleblowers for dinner meetings at local restaurants. By Christmas 2007, the meetings had become semi-formal, and the work to begin incorporation was started.
In June 2008, Canadians for Accountability was incorporated as a non-profit organization. Elections were held in the limited membership to select a president, Vice-president, Treasurer, Secretary and other directors.
Canadians for Accountability now seeks to expand its membership and obtain secure funding to allow it to take a more active role in assisting whistleblowers.
