The point does not concern the deputy commissioner per se but the principle that the office of the commissioner can now initiate an investigation if it believes there are grounds. Under subsection 37(1), it is made clear that, and I quote, "The Deputy Commissioner shall appoint one or more suitable persons ... to perform the functions expressed by this Chapter .. one or more members of staff of the Office of the Commissioner may be the subject of such an appointment".
