For the purposes of substantiating information provided under this Act or the regulations or of determining whether this Act or the regulations have been complied with, an authorised officer may:

enter any premises at any reasonable time of the day; and

exercise the monitoring powers set out in section 111.

An authorised officer is not authorised to enter premises under subsection (1) unless:
