Our investigations are confidential, but the Ombudsman can report publicly on investigations that are in the public interest.

Full investigations by the Ombudsman are relatively infrequent and most complaints are resolved using our informal complaint resolution process. We do not report details of every complaint resolved informally but examples of this work are included in our annual reports.

Health Care Insurance Survey Investigation Report
A survey titled “Yukon Health Care Insurance Plan Update” was sent to some Yukoners stating that if they didn't sign and return the card, their health care could be cancelled. The Yukon Ombudsman was contacted by several complainants who questioned the connection between completing the survey form and cancellation of their health care insurance coverage. The Ombudsman decided to investigate and considered the law authorizing surveys and the connection between the survey and cancellation of health care insurance coverage.
