Certainly we need to strengthen the weaknesses that are there in the law, if there are any, and ensure that whistle-blowers are protected. So, I am sure that if the hon member has very good suggestions, he can make those suggestions so that they can be considered. We cannot say that we cannot strengthen the provisions that protect whistle-blowers. We do not want those kinds of action by wrongdoers. Otherwise we will discourage people who wish to report matters from coming forward. If there are any suggestions you can make that will strengthen the law, they will be considered. I don't think there is any problem.
