the proposed cancellation notice states that written comments on the proposal may be made to the Minister before the end of a stated period of at least 28 days after the day the notice is given to the licensee; and
the Minister considers any comments made in response to the proposed cancellation notice.
Subsection (2) does not apply if the licensee agrees, in writing, to the cancellation.
The cancellation takes effect on—
the day the cancellation notice is given to the licensee; or
a later day stated in the cancellation notice.
