Yes. It refers to a tribunal being appointed to examine some matter which is under investigation by the commission. To really confuse the issue, it is actually the reverse of the case Senator O'Toole mentioned. He was talking about whether we would use the powers in section 6 to deal with a situation which may or may not arise at the request of one or other of the tribunals. The answer to that is "No". In future, however, if the commission is under way and some issue arises in relation to a finding of fact which suggests that a tribunal should be established at that time, a tribunal mechanism still exists and can still be used. I hope it will be used with more precision than in the recent past or at present. That would necessitate a change in the focus of the commission's terms of reference.
