Certainly, Ms. Hinton, we're prepared to help. This is something we could speak about to the clerk. We don't want to be perceived as interfering with or trying to influence the committee.
Having been around some of these things over time, my suggestion is that if the committee were to agree on certain principles for the ombudsman, the rest would flow very quickly. For example, if you were to agree that the ombudsman--the Canadian-made model--does not have the right to interfere in the legal process, if you were to agree that the ombudsman would have a right to look at systemic issues, if some of the principles of operation--if I could call it that--or some guiding principles were agreed to among the honourable members, you would probably get to something tangible a little more quickly.
