We have some of the strongest employment legislation in Europe, much of which was updated over the past couple of years. We also have whistleblower legislation. I cannot get involved in HR issues. However, I will work with the sector on what it believes will bring about improvements. There is a cultural issue here. The culture of bullying and harassment in any organisation must be weeded out. I will do what I can to assist the sector but I am limited in what I can do. As I said, I will work with the sector on what it believes needs to happen to improve the situation as we move forward.
