I don't know if I've fully analyzed the inspector general model. I know that was looked at in 1998 when they created our office. It was decided that an ombudsman would be the appropriate model as civilian oversight for the Canadian Forces.
Despite this report that only half the recommendations were made, I think in 10 years we have done a lot of work. We've held the Canadian Forces' feet to the ground to make sure they improve treatment. I do believe the progress they've made in the last six years--the next panel may disagree with me--is partially because of our office pushing them on the issue.
Thank you.
