To be clear, I did not have information specifically provided by the ombudsman, either specific to the complaint or of a more general nature, but as I have described, if information is provided to us about an allegation, our role [Technical difficulty—Editor] supporting the management of Governor in Council appointees would be to assess the nature of the complaint and provide advice in terms of a review of a situation, an administrative review. The consideration could be to launch a third party independent investigation, or any of those opportunities, or, as I [Technical difficulty—Editor] to the appropriate police authorities if needed. These would all be avenues that we would have considered in terms of providing advice on next steps.
