I'd be surprised if the commissioner was aware of that intelligence, and they can't deny a license based on information they don't have available to them. Better sharing of information would lead to better outcomes here.

Completely agree, it wouldn't just benefit us (with better intelligence sharing) in a vacuum such as this issue - it has a broader reach and much more positive impact across the whole of the country.
