The investigator’s report under subsection (2) may include a recommendation that the adjudicator be removed from office on a ground mentioned in section 203 (1) . The Minister may use a report given to the Minister under subsection (2) (b) about an adjudicator to decide whether or not to make a recommendation under section 203 about the adjudicator.
