I'd like to move this. It doesn't require any additional funds. It allows the whistle-blowers direct access to the tribunal without any prior determination by the commissioner. Before approaching the tribunal, the whistle-blower is required to wait for an indefinite period until the commissioner investigates the complaint of a reprisal and renders a decision while the whistle-blower continues to suffer reprisal. With this amendment, the whistle-blower could immediately approach the tribunal upon experiencing reprisals, which would reduce the delay before justice is done and reduce the harm done in the meantime.
