The American distortion of the ombudsman concept and its influence on Canada
The essence of the original ombudsman concept as embraced by the western democracies was the independence of the ombudsman from the administrative organization being complained against. This is achieved by having the office created by law and having the ombudsman appointed by the legislature and made its agent.
