The Commissioner must, before exercising powers under subsection (1) in relation to a licensee—

give written notice to the licensee of the proposed cancellation, including a statement of the reasons that the Commissioner considers justify the cancellation; and

allow the licensee a period of 14 days (or such longer period as the Commissioner may in a particular case allow) to show cause why the licence should not be cancelled.
