The answer to that is yes. We work on the system and let them know what you're proposing. I write to literally 55 different organizations and tell them that the Prime Minister has used the word “ombudsman”, tell them it's liable to come up again, and ask if they are prepared to support it the way they were before. The answer was yes, let's get on with it. There is some unhappiness--not as much as there was back in 1963, but there is some unhappiness about the system right now that we would like to see cleared up.
Do I think an ombudsman would work? I think the idea of an ombudsman deserves a fair shake. The idea deserves somebody to look at it beyond what I'm saying today, saying maybe you were giving up the ghost too soon.
