They have a mission statement, but a bill of rights versus a statement of service principles. I have to admit to being confused from the beginning on “charter of rights”, “bill of rights”, and there's reference in some of the testimony that the ombudsman could use the bill of rights in his or her work. But if it ends up being a document that has no legal basis and it's just a nice pretty statement of service principles, what has been accomplished?
I don't want to be embarrassed by presenting something to veterans and having them say, don't you do that anyway, or, isn't that what you're supposed to do? I just put that out there.
