Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for appearing before us this morning. I really appreciate that you've come here to give us a little bit more insight into the act and what it is you've been tasked with under this legislation.
It's interesting, as I listened to you and read through your document as you were going through it.... I guess this would otherwise be what we've all thought of as whistle-blower legislation and the negative connotation that goes with that type of reference to a whistle-blower. But also there has always been a concern, when you talk about protecting the identity of the person who is making the complaint, as to whether or not there is fairness in that for the individual or whoever the complaint is being levelled against.
How do you handle that? Does a person about whom the complaint is being made not have the right to know the source of the complaint? I'd like your thoughts on that, because we're trying to be fair to everyone, but I would think that would also be a question, that a person or an organization that is being complained about would have the opportunity to question the validity of the complaint.
