No. The big reports that we issue are what we call the systemic reports. They are systemic investigations into topics like recruiting or the deployment of 1 CER to Kuwait. These are published throughout the year at various intervals. For example, we had one in July on recruiting and one at the beginning of November on 1 CER.
To go back to the member's question, if I, as ombudsman, felt the minister of the day was not responding in a way that I thought was appropriate to the recommendations that I made, there are a number of things I could do. One could be to go to the Standing Committee on National Defence, draw their attention to it, and say they might be interested in hearing from me about it. I could also go to the press to some extent and make the point that we're not getting the kind of response we think we should be getting.
In the end, there is a saying in the ombudsmen's world. It's a bit flippant, but it says that the only power we have is the power to shame, to go public and say there is no action being taken on an issue that we think is very important. I know enough of my world—that is, national defence—and I think I know enough of the veterans affairs world that if an ombudsman for the veterans affairs department came out and said something like I just suggested, the press would be interested, and I presume this committee would be interested.
So those are ways of getting results.
