(a) cancel the licence; or
(b) suspend the licence for a specified period or until the fulfilment of stipulated conditions; or
(c) impose conditions on the licence.
(2) If, during the suspension of a licence under this section, the Commissioner is satisfied that the facts and circumstances that gave rise to the suspension have altered, the Commissioner may, by further notice specifying the date of termination, terminate the suspension and restore the licence to the person (either in the form in which it existed prior to the suspension or subject to new conditions).
