Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's important that we support this amendment because it is true that in small workplaces it may be difficult for employees to put forward their point of view and defend their rights. It isn't easy to do that. Getting the department, public servants, or experts involved—they are not parliamentarians, obviously—can help create a certain independence to allow people to intervene. Personally, I support this amendment.
These are specific cases. In any case, all harassment cases have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Those who intervene will do so with as much discernment as possible. It's the same thing in businesses where there are conflicts, and in small businesses with fewer than 20 employees.
