requiring the person to give the Minister or the person specified in the notice, within the period specified in the notice, information about the area of the insurer’s operations specified in the notice.

(3) The Minister may require the person to give the information on oath or affirmation. For that purpose, the Minister or the person specified in the notice may administer an oath or affirmation.
