Thank you again for coming back to the committee. Obviously, the testimony we've heard this week shines a new light on the usefulness of the current legislation and on international best practices.
We received a very interesting document from Global Watchdog. It lists a number of international best practices, and maybe it comes down to whether the act really starts from the right starting point.
The first is the view that it's free expression rights that are what need to be protected. It's a human right that a worker should not have to work in a place where wrongdoing is occurring, or that they merely have a reasonable suspicion that wrongdoing is occurring and not be given the right to freely express their concerns about the wrongdoing.
How do any of your suggestions for a change in the act protect the free expression right of employees to voice their concerns in whatever way they choose about wrongdoing that is occurring, or to even explore with their colleagues and co-workers that they may suspect wrongdoing is occurring?
