Human Resources committee  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.

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The amendment aims to lighten the procedure to handle victims' complaints.
