11 Suspension of permits

(1) The Minister may, in his or her discretion, by notice given by any means the Minister thinks appropriate to the holder of a permit: (a) subject to subsection (2), suspend the permit for a period not exceeding 90 days if he or she suspects on reasonable grounds that circumstances exist by reason of which he or she would be empowered to cancel the permit; or (b) revoke the suspension of the permit at any time. (2) Where proceedings for an offence in relation to a permit are commenced during the period of suspension of the permit, the suspension may be continued until the proceedings (including any appeal) are completed. (3) During the period of suspension of a permit, the permit has no force or effect, but the period of currency of the permit continues to run.
