Mr. Devitt has answered some of it in terms of best practice from elsewhere. I have a question regarding the heads of the Bill we have now, particularly the reversal of the burden of proof in the context of the WRC. I am conscious Mr. Devitt has said it should not have to go to the WRC but, for the cases that do, it seems a positive development that the reversal of the burden of proof puts the onus on the employer rather than the worker to prove the case. Are there other areas in that Bill where we need to go further? I heard about the lifting of the salary or compensation caps and the timeframes. Are there other parts of the Bill we have an opportunity to change that would strengthen the system for whistleblowers in this country?
