So it's a ministerial directive.
I would like to ask you a question on your stint as acting ombudsman. Should the role of the ombudsman be set out in the statute on National Defence in order to give this position more teeth? You have made recommendations to the Department, but I am disappointed at its response. After seven years, almost nothing has changed. In the act respecting National Defence, if the ombudsman reported to Parliament rather to the Minister, or if certain provisions stipulated that the recommendations were biding, would that help us achieve our objectives more rapidly and effectively?
