This clause simply repeals a paragraph of the act. I don't see how this is an issue, since we have already allowed public servants to use other resources. This clause simply repeals paragraph 25(1)(j) of the act, which talks about “the power in section 34 to refer a matter to another authority”. It would be left up to the whistleblower to decide with whom they are going to file their complaint, to whom they are going to tell their story and who they are going to ask to protect them.
Personally, I would keep this clause as is.
