On page 3 of your report, you ask: “Who would have access to the Ombudsman's Office?” You put the present armed forces and veterans in the same boat. When veterans were a matter for the Standing Committee on Defence, there was an ombudsman. But you criticized them because it was too concerned with National Defence and not enough with the armed forces. If we create this ombudsman position, will the armed forces be opposed to it? Shouldn't it be completely separated?
