I had a conversation with Ms. Dhalla relating to allegations about breaking the law, essentially. As I said to her, when we get calls from employees who say their personal documents were taken away for whatever reason and intent, we have a standard response. We first ask the employee, in this situation the caregiver, to ask the employer to give the documents back. She said she had asked for the documents on several occasions and was refused. The next step is to ask for permission to make a call on behalf of the person. She gave me permission, and I made the phone call. As far as I know, based on my phone call, the documents were returned the following day. To me, that was the end of the story, until it resurfaced in the press a year later.
