NOTHING MORE HEARD * Eight» months, one. election and two justice ministers later, nothing more has been heard on the subject from the govern- ment. A spokesman said this week the matter still is before Jus- tice Minister Cardin and no de- cision has been reached. He de- tlined to say what is causing the delay, beyond saying the de- artment has studied various legislative proposals. The spokesman hinted the next throne speech, being pre-| pared by the government for the Jan. 18 opening of the new Parliament, will refer to the issue. The central decision facing Mr. Cardin is whether to pro- ceed with the creation of a royal commission or draft leg- islation now to establish the position of ombudsman. Most opposition MPs who spoke on the issue last session were surprised at the proposal for a royal commission. They thought the desirability of an ombudsman was génerally rec- ognized. The Commons privileges com- mittee held long public hearings on the subject last fall and win- ter and MPs in all parties favor the ombudsman concept. Favor- able private members' bills and resolutions have been intro- duced in the last five or six years.
