We can certainly do our very best given the nature of the files. I could also point out that we have also had cases in which some reprisal complainant, who has an active grievance, has withdrawn the grievance, leaving us in a situation where we no longer have to face that prohibition. Again, on the basis of respecting the choice of an individual, if someone chooses to go to a grievance instead of coming to me, that is his or her right, and I respect that. If someone has a grievance and says, “I'd rather come to you. I'm going to withdraw my grievance”, I respect that choice as well within the confines of the law. This has only happened in maybe one or two cases.
