There were two points I referenced in my remarks with regard to what I think small employers are particularly vulnerable to. First is the requirement that employees report to their supervisor. In a small organization, that just doesn't leave sufficient flexibility. Then there's the confidentiality piece. In a small organization, it's the concern around the organization not being able to tell this person about the identity of the person involved, and any details about the situation, because they're on the health and safety committee, or because this person's the representative. It gets completely unwieldy in a smaller organization. There I think the Ontario language around confidentiality is much more flexible and adaptable in a smaller workplace.
