I think this amendment is suggesting, first, to provide a person other than the supervisor. There is a protection already in the code, not even within Bill C-65 but within the Canada Labour Code, that protects an employee against reprisal. If they bring forward any complaint, under part II of the code, they are protected. They cannot be somehow disciplined for bringing forward that complaint. It's under section 147 of the Canada Labour Code. It's protection against any disciplinary action.
