Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks, Dr. Brown, for joining us—this morning, by your time—with your very interesting testimony.
In terms of objects of the act, there's nothing specifically listed in our legislation. There's a bit of a preamble. When talking about reprisal, I take you to mean that you don't believe that reprisal should be an object or a defence or believe in tracking down or punishing reprisal, but rather think we should focus on a duty to protect and support whistle-blowers, that this is what we should focus the legislation on, concerning downstream detriment suffered by whistle-blowers.
