Ombudsman (Canada)

The Ombudsman in Canada is an independent official dedicated to investigating and resolving complaints from individuals about government agencies and institutions. Their role is to ensure fairness, accountability, and transparency within public services. When someone feels they have been treated unfairly or encounter issues with government processes, they can appeal to the Ombudsman, who reviews the case impartially. The Ombudsman does not have the power to enforce decisions but can recommend solutions, provide advice, and help improve government practices to serve the public better.
