To continue, when the minister and deputy minister are here--and you'll tell us at some point whether those dates have been set yet--I would be interested, on our part, in finding out at that session or some other session about a work plan for the implementation of an ombudsman. We're assuming that the government heard the minister say it's a good idea; it was a campaign commitment, and we've all agreed to it. I'd like to hear a work plan, some outline that the department is going to do this for consultations and hopes to have a bill presented at some point in time, just so that we have a sense when we're talking to our legions and others that this has not come to a report and now we won't hear anything for two years, but that we have some sense of when that might be.
On February 13th, 2007. See this statement in context.
