Monsieur Perron, if an ombudsman made a mistake, it would be brought to his attention when he submitted his report and somebody said we don't agree. What happens then--and that's I'm sure the big question--if you disagree with the ombudsman?That's where the advice of superior powers comes in, such as the Minister of Veterans Affairs, or even the Office of the Prime Minister. He was unable to resolve it, and if he says he disagrees, then it has to go to a higher authority, but not the courts.
