I just wanted to answer back to Mr. Obhrai, but I'll answer to Mr. Abbott.

It has been pointed out that the committee agrees with the 27 recommendations of the round table, and one was for the ombudsman. Even Parliament voted in favour of the ombudsman. Bring back the ombudsman and that's going to be it. I discussed it with Mr. McKay and he said we need an independent ombudsman. That's going to be the fairness for both sides.
