 (a) is not allowed to initiate a new bargaining period in relation to specified matters that are dealt with by the proposed collective agreement; or
 (b) may initiate such a bargaining period only on conditions specified in the declaration.

 (13) An order under subsection (1) terminating a bargaining period may, if the Commission considers it to be appropriate, contain a declaration that, during a specified period beginning at the time of the termination, a specified negotiating party or employee of the employer:
 (a) is not allowed to initiate a new bargaining period in relation to specified matters that are dealt with by the proposed collective agreement; or
 (b) may initiate such a bargaining period only on conditions specified in the declaration.
