Mr. Chair, the act is very clear on that. For us to have jurisdiction over cases of reprisal, there absolutely has to be what is called a nexus with the disclosure. There must be a direct link with a disclosure previously made in the public interest about wrongdoing within the meaning of the act. If, after a disclosure of that kind, subsequent actions become reprisals as defined in the act, we can intervene.
When the interest is strictly private—not that that diminishes the significance of the complaint—our duty is to refer the matter to the organization with the jurisdiction. That does not mean that we cannot make comments, but, technically, if there is no... But it is also a question of the detail that we provide in cases that have been brought to us and that we have had to refer. That is a task with which Parliament did not entrust us.
