Basically, it's just so that the Integrity Commissioner knows what's going on. Very often, all that's needed for an agency to resolve that conflict of interest, to a large degree, and to realize that they can and should protect the whistle-blower is to know that somebody else is looking over their shoulder and that it will be known how they handle this situation. Typically, agencies handle things quite differently if they know that's the case, and that in specific situations....
Sorry.
