We're trying to establish whether there's a need for an ombudsman, whether there's a problem with the department, whether an ombudsman is warranted to meet veterans' issues. Are these the only questions this committee is going to deal with, or are we also going to look at the framework in which the ombudsman works and his roles and responsibilities?
We also have to consider the work plan and the cost. There has to be a cost associated with this. Could it be afforded by the department? I don't know whether money would be available.
These are the steps in front of us. Are we addressing just one, or are we looking at all of these steps?
