Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Mr. Hillier. It's good to see you again.
I would just like to comment on a point that my colleague Peter Stoffer is making. I think the chair was referring to it. Having talked to the ombudsman, I don't think he would have characterized all those interventions at all as complaints. As a matter of fact, he said that a number of them were inquiries or simple requests for more information. That was quite separate from complaints that would be looked at as disagreeing with or being against a decision or anything like that.
I think a great number of the interventions are along the lines of finding out more information. I just wanted to get that on the record here. I know we always tie the bill of rights in with the ombudsman. If there were no bill of rights, there wouldn't have been an ombudsman, I guess. Can you give us a little background as to the relationship, if you wouldn't mind? By that I mean that when you look at the mandate of the ombudsman, it obviously must tie in with the mandate of the bill of rights. I don't think we've actually addressed that relationship.
