It's very difficult to speculate on what the government will do in that particular case. I have briefed the minister on this particular case, the same briefing that I've given to a number of audiences, including in my press conference last year and in the position paper that I put forward at that time.
The minister is very knowledgeable about governance issues as it reflects corporate governance. I think it was a good conversation, but I cannot say at this point in time where it will go. I will continue to push for it. I think it is the right thing to do.
Like every ombudsman before me, I came into this office thinking that I could work within the system to be able to support the defence community in achieving fairness, as much as we could, but I've seen very directly the issues that all the other ombudsmen before me have seen and, in this case, I came around to the opinion—very strongly held now—that independence in reporting to Parliament is the right thing to do for the defence community.
