22  Investigation in progress by Agency Head into alleged breach of Code of Conduct
(1) This item applies if, before the commencement time:
 (a) an Agency Head had begun an investigation to determine whether an APS employee in the Agency had breached the Code of Conduct, but no finding had been made; or
 (b) an Agency Head had decided to begin an investigation to determine whether an APS employee in the Agency had breached the Code of Conduct, but had not begun the investigation.
(2) Subject to subitem (3), the old Public Service Act (and the regulations and procedures in force for the purposes of that Act) continue to apply at and after the commencement time in relation to the investigation and determination.
(3) If the APS employee is found to have breached the Code of Conduct, the Agency Head must determine the sanction (if any) to be imposed on the APS employee in accordance with the procedures established under paragraph 15(3)(b) of the new Public Service Act. For that purpose, a reference to the Code of Conduct in those procedures is to be read as a reference to the old Code of Conduct.
