Absolutely. This is where, one, the advice that I gave directly back to the former ombudsman...but also, the reason I had my staff immediately contact the PCO is that this is where the Governor in Council appointments are managed. It was making sure that they knew, and then, if there were any other mechanisms that they had, they could provide the appropriate advice and also look at the allegation. But it was my understanding that no information was provided.
