You've seen the emails. The important thing to note is that in my exchange the former ombudsman was clear that the information he held was being held in confidence. He had presented options to the complainant, and he was waiting for their direction. Based on whatever they determined to do, he would act in respect of that direction.
I knew in meeting with him that he had provided a complainant with some options and courses of action that could be taken. In my emails to him, my efforts were not to get in the way of a process that his office may wish to pursue on behalf of the complainant, but to find out more about the nature of the complaint so that we could provide some advice in the context of my responsibilities around supporting the Prime Minister and the minister in respect of managing a GIC appointee.
