The other concern I have, quite frankly, gets back to an issue you have already raised, the gun registry. I must admit I have been fairly intimately involved in that at the time your name was first floated as being the ombudsperson. Your initial response I think distinguished you from your predecessor; in fact, you were criticized by your predecessor for not taking a position immediately on the gun registry. In fact at that time, Ms. O’Sullivan, you indicated an uncertainty--I’ll put it at that, at least that is the way the media reported it--as to whether the ombudsman should be taking a position on an issue like that. I know subsequently you in fact did. It’s clear that you have an advocacy role. Do you agree with me on that?
