However, that's not appropriate as regards voluntary reporting. I find amendment G-3.1 interesting. However, I would have liked that amendment to be added to the entire “voluntary reporting” part in order to genuinely protect an employee who wishes to make a disclosure. I'm not sure that entering it in the safety management system file... You said so yourself: there could be problems if ever a person who is not covered by the safety management system decides to make a voluntary report. We want to ensure the employee's protection. I think it would encourage the employee, as you have convinced me, to make voluntary statements and reports, if we protect him more. You haven't considered this question.
Ultimately, I would have liked the text of amendment G-3.1 to be added to the “Voluntary Reporting” heading to be sure that employees are protected. Whether it's my text or that prepared by the government is of little importance. The important thing is that, under part of the act, employees or those who would like to report information feel protected from proceedings.
