I can read it. This is the fourth paragraph of the preamble to the act. It says:

public servants owe a duty of loyalty to their employer and enjoy the right to freedom of expression... and that this Act strives to achieve an appropriate balance between those two important principles

I'm trying to see where this duty of loyalty even plays in. Aren't they being loyal by disclosing wrongdoing?

I'm trying to find out why that's even in the preamble and maybe get your views on whether or not it can come out.

See context to find out what was said next.
