I wish to add to the points already made. It is strange to do as proposed here and put the onus back on the complainant rather than on the respondent. If the Minister is saying "No", perhaps she could come back and explain that. Under the Unfair Dismissals Act, an employer has to prove that he fairly dismissed a worker who took a complaint against him. Removing this amendment, which the Minister put in, actually puts the reverse into law. I think it should be allowed and we will oppose its removal.
