As I understand it, one reason the minister is named here is that it's a private member's bill, and you can't set up an ombudsman with public.... I understand there are limits on what a private member's bill can propose. I don't take a position on whether the minister is necessarily the only person who could be doing this, but what I understand the special counsellor to be able to do is not the same as what is proposed in this bill.
Secondly, with the greatest of respect to Mr. Shrake, I'm not in a position, nor is anybody around this table, to make a decision about whether this is a frivolous or vexatious complaint. We just aren't.
