The creation of an office of ombudsman to investigate citizen complaints about administrative decisions by agencies of the provincial government was urged thursday by the Manitoba bar association prof. Dale Gibson of the Manitoba Law school appearing for the association before the statutory regulations and orders committee of the Manitoba legislature said existing machinery for the Appeal of bureaucratic decisions docs not provide the answer to the Core of difficult he said a partial study by the association indicated a number of danger areas in provincial legislation which require a greater Freedom of Appeal for individuals. We arc convinced an awful lot of unjust administrative decisions exist and that they do an awful lot of harm both to individuals and to the government. Our conclusion is that there should be some Way to super Vise the machinery of govern ment against government excesses. As government expands As it undoubtedly will the possibilities for excess increase. Likewise the need for supervision not automatic in the Brief prof. Gibson said that an ombudsman through the prestige of his office would be Able to bring pressure to Bear on governmental agencies when his investigations revealed excesses on the part of administrators. However he stressed the office would not provide an automatic Appeal against All administrative decisions but Only those investigated at the discretion of the ombudsman. An automatic Appeal would tear the heart out of the administrative tribunal system. There would Only be supervision when tic system appeared to be breaking prof. Gibson said that sonic decisions of administrative boards and government officials could be questioned in the courts but others were beyond the scope of such action. What was More those matters on which a court could Rule involved the plaintiff in much expense. Pro native writs Don t solve the said prof. Gib son. They Are obscure and costly and there arc cases where they do not Pitfalls he s a i d an ombudsman would place no restrictions on the historic role of the legislator As the investigator of grievances from his particular constituency. However a legislator is not Able to do the great bulk of the work he said that while some members of the House arc skilful in ferreting out information others arc less successful. At tic same time an la who was a member of the govern ment might be hesitant in bringing to Light a situation embarrassing to the administration. And the complaints of an opposition member might be taken lightly As an attempt to show up the government when in fact a True grievance did exist. Prof. Gibson stressed that an ombudsman would be an inde pendent agent of the legislature not of the government. He would keep an Eye on the Way government is administrated. He is not a judge. His is not a judicial he said an ombudsman would by the nature of his office have greater Access than a member of the legislature to the records and files of government Agen cies and departments. By fulfil Ling his role he could also prevent unnecessary embarrassment and loss of reputation for the government and its administrators which sometimes re sults in Over exposure of grievances in the press said prof. Gibson. Examples to underline the association s Case for an ombudsman. Prof. Gibson and Winnipeg lawyer Frank Muldoon gave examples of situations they said an ombudsman could investigate. Or. Muldoon told of a work Man injured on his Job being paid compensation when the Accident occurred but being denied payment by the work men s compensation Board when he applied for Aid after having to undergo an operation several months later to Correct a situation resulting from the initial mishap. He said the Man had asked the Board to outline the reasons for the refusal to give him Aid but had been denied information. Or. Muldoon said the work men s compensation Board is Able to exist in a legislative arbitrarily determining to whom it will give assistance secure in the know ledge that its decisions can t be prof. Gibson said other mat tors which an ombudsman might investigate included treatment of prisoners in Uca Dingley jail while awaiting he outcome of appeals against their sentences. He said such inmates arc held in More restrictive custody than other prisoners placing them under great psychological pressure to drop their appeals. Intercepted lie said that in another instance a letter written by a prisoner in the jail to his member of parliament to com Plain about homosexual attacks by the guards in the prison had been intercepted by the prison censor and not posted. R whether or not the allegations were True the fact that be was not Able to write an my of All people bears prof. Gibson said ;
