I am sorry to interrupt the Minister but this is not at all realistic. The employer has nothing to do with this. The employer may be the subject of a police investigation. The only way in which the law enforcement agency—of one sort or another—can get the necessary evidence is to ask one of the employees to provide it. The employer does not know anything about this. The whole point is that it is done undercover. The informer certainly does not tell the employer, "I am in the pay of the police to tell them what is going on in our company". This is simply not how it works. I hope the Minister will think again about this.
