The role and responsibilities of the Ombudsman are set out in the Ombudsman Act. The Ombudsman investigates and resolves complaints about the Provincial government, its agencies, boards, commissions or tribunals and recommends corrective action to be taken in those cases where the Ombudsman decides that there is substance to the complaint. These concerns may be raised by individuals or on the Ombudsman's own motion because of some action that has been taken or neglected to be taken by an official, or from some decision or recommendation which is alleged to be unfair, unreasonable or arbitrary.
