If something appears in the public arena and the commissioner has the opportunity to go back to a submission, then the submission should be the triggering opportunity. There are the submissions and also the opportunity of complaint. It is not that I want to curtail the commissioner, but as Deputy Calleary has said, somebody could act because of a vendetta or a wish to harm. The powers are a little too sweeping in my view.
