archaeological area or part thereof the Minister may, if it appears to him
that no important loss of relics would result thereby, direct the removal of
any relics in on or under the land to safe storage, and the Governor in
Council shall thereupon make such proclamations as are necessary to provide
that the said land shall cease to be an archaeological area or part thereof.

revoke or vary, at his discretion and without any request, any proclamation
declaring land to be an archaeological area.
