He said that this is "rife". He spoke directly to people. Many of them were fearful about coming forward. That was his view. He went on to say that people were fearful about talking to him, although some people did. That was my experience when I dealt with people who came to me after I raised these issues. They privately expressed concern to me that if they raised any issues, their contracts might not be renewed. I ask Ms Forbes to respond to the view that has been communicated to me and to Mr. Boucher-Hayes.
