For sure.
The Woods committee noted--and I'll have to find that for you in a second. The problem is there's still far too much secrecy at the pension adjudication system within the department. We don't know who makes those decisions and we don't know on what basis they make those decisions; there's no consistency in terms of the documents or letters that are sent out after the decisions are made.
That problem also exists at the VRAB level, where there's far too much secrecy. In 1967, the Woods report noted that the process has to be opened up to more transparency and accountability, and 40 years later we're saying the same thing. I think an ombudsman would...it has to be the vehicle to do that because all other attempts have failed.
