Provincial Ombudsman

A Provincial Ombudsman is an independent official who investigates complaints from the public about government actions and services within a specific province. Their role is to ensure fairness and accountability, looking into issues such as delays, unfair treatment, or maladministration by provincial agencies. By addressing these concerns, the Ombudsman helps citizens understand their rights and seeks to improve government practices. They provide a vital check on government power, promoting transparency and protecting public interest. The Ombudsman can recommend changes but does not have the authority to enforce laws or impose penalties.
