Ombudsmen — Federal & Provincial Offices

Read-only registry of statutory ombudsman offices in Canada. Federal officers (e.g. Office of the Ombudsperson for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, Procurement Ombud, Veterans' Ombud, Taxpayers' Ombudsperson) and provincial/territorial general ombudsmen. Each entry will cite its primary public source — the office's own .gc.ca or provincial domain. Schema-enforced source-or-omit.

Schema

Scope: Statutory officers established by Act of Parliament or provincial/territorial legislation. Excludes private-sector ombudsmen and industry self-regulators (those go in the appropriate sectoral registry).

REGISTRY UNDER COMPILATION No rows are published yet. The schema is locked and the source-or-omit contract is enforced — entries will appear here only when each row carries its verified primary-source citation. Do not infer absence of evidence as evidence of absence; check back as the registry populates.

Source-or-Omit Contract

Every published row of this registry must carry:

  • A primary-source URL on the relevant .gc.ca, provincial-government domain, or canlii.org.
  • A retrieval timestamp (ISO-8601 UTC).
  • A content_sha256 hash of the source artifact at retrieval time, persisted to the site provenance ledger.

Editorial inference, paywalled sources, and unverified claims are excluded by schema. This is a recording of what public bodies say about themselves — not commentary.

Right of reply. If you are a named officer or body and the public source we cite is incorrect or has been superseded, send the corrected primary-source URL via the methodology page and the row will be updated with the new citation in the next publication cycle.
