 (2) The notice must specify:
 (a) the grounds on which it is proposed to suspend or cancel the licence; and

However, if the licensee consents, the person conducting the hearing may fix a different time or place.

 (a) give the licensee an opportunity to be heard at the hearing; and
 (b) give the Minister:
 (i) a report about the hearing; and
 (ii) a recommendation about the grounds in the notice on which it is proposed to suspend or cancel the licence.

 (4) After considering the report and recommendation, the Minister may:
 (a) decide to take no further action in relation to the matter and give written advice of that decision to the licensee; or
 (b) suspend the licence for a specified period, or cancel the licence, by giving written notice to the licensee.
