It just appears that your restraint.... The minister can ask you to investigate things, even though it says here that you're the office of last resort. I find it rather unusual that the Minister of Defence would need an ombudsman to investigate his own department, but there are obviously special circumstances that may come up now and then.
So do you not feel constraint in that regard? Would you like to see a veterans ombudsman--I guess for lack of a better term--have more latitude or freedom to determine what he or she can decide to do?
