If you wish to make a disclosure under the Act to facilitate the disclosure of wrongdoings relating to public bodies, we invite you to visit the website of the Québec Ombudsman and contact that organization. Note that staff members of public bodies covered under the Act can also contact, as necessary, the person responsible for monitoring disclosures within their respective organization. If you believe you have been the victim of an error or an injustice on the part of a department or an agency that falls within the field of jurisdiction of the Québec Ombudsman, or if you are dissatisfied with the quality of the public services you are receiving, please contact the Québec Ombudsman.
