I thank the Minister. In fairness, it confirms the crucial role of the whistleblower and her protected disclosures in terms of exposing the wrongdoings and hopefully putting the school onto a better path. I welcome the Minister's offer to have a chat with the whistleblower and ask him to follow through on it. If we have learned anything from recent news in terms of whistleblowers in general it is that we need to listen to them. I ask the Minister to follow up with a formal meeting with the whistleblower in question. That is what she is looking for in terms of recognition of the fact that her plight has been unaddressed to date. Her career was cut short and she has suffered significantly financially in order to bring the school to a better place.
