Gualtieri is currently the Director of Federal Accountability Initiative for Reform (FAIR).

Her allegations were supported by the Inspector General and Auditor General of Canada.

 An internationally renowned expert on blood disorders, Olivieri is a professor of paediatrics, medicine and public health sciences at the University of Toronto. She has fought a high-profile, 18-year battle with a major pharmaceutical company and the Hospital for Sick Children related to concerns she raised about the safety and effectiveness of a new drug to treat a major blood disorder.
