The ombudsman is also doing important work on analyzing the systemic problems and broad issues that small organizations often do not have the time to study. They sometimes do not have the resources to do it. The reports that the ombudsman has released have been invaluable in advancing our discussions. In Canada, the ombudsman is also an essential spokesperson for victims of crime whose reports can be used for analyzing problems and making recommendations that advance victims' rights.
We are therefore very pleased with his appointment.
