I have issued eight mandamus applications because of eight orders that were not contested in court. It is the institution's right to not comply with an order as long as they challenge it in court. When they refuse to do so, I'm forced to take action myself. Out of those eight writs of mandamus, I think that the Department of National Defence has received about six. I have to say, though, that the good news is that the Department of National Defence is doing much better. I don't know if it's because of these mandamus applications, but this year we've received the lowest number of complaints against National Defence. It's not even in my top five institutions that are not meeting the act this year.
