21. After section 21 of the Principal Act the following section is inserted:
How are rehabilitation programs ended?

"21A.(1) Provision of a rehabilitation program to a person must end:

   (a)  after that person requests the Secretary, in writing, to stop the
        provision of the program; or

   (b)  after the Secretary determines that the continued provision of a
        rehabilitation program to the person would not further increase the
        person's capacity to:

        (i)    obtain or retain paid employment (whether or not the employment
               would be unsupported); or

        (ii)   live independently; or

   (c)  after the Secretary determines that the person receiving the
        rehabilitation program is not making reasonable progress towards
        having a substantially increased capacity to:

        (i)    obtain or retain paid employment (whether or not the employment
               would be unsupported); or

        (ii)   live independently.

"(2) In making a determination the Secretary must comply with guidelines (if
any) formulated under section 5 that relate to this section.

"(3) The Secretary must cause a copy of the determination to be provided to
the person within 14 days of the Secretary making the determination.".
