 I guess there are administrative and disciplinary ones.  One must 
 remember that the ombudsman concept was forced on the CF, probably by 
 the CHRC, and the present incumbent was put there because he was a buddy 
 of the then MND.  He was allowed to pretty well write the rules of the 
 office to suit himself.  He got to decide what problems he would deal 
 with.  To be fair however I doubt that the CF legal system would, or 
 legally could, allow Mr. Marin to deal with legal problems.  I suspect 
 that's a burr under Mr. Marin's saddle. 
  
 I suspect now that his good friend and mentor got himself fired from his 
 job as MND, Mr. Marin must be feeling a chill wind in the corridors of 
 101 Col By.
