That's an interesting comment.
From my own perspective, all I can say is that as a committee we put forward a unanimous report on the ombudsman, which is a rarity at any level of government, but it is also a real rarity in a minority government situation.
I think I'm safe in saying that the intent was not to have another legalese hoop for a veteran to jump through. The intent was to make certain that the ombudsman position and the bill of rights actually saved veterans from having to go that court route again. We want them respected. We want their needs met in a timely fashion, and we want an ombudsman there to protect them.
That is just a statement, and I'll pass to Mr. Shipley.
