Precursor Control Regulations

54 The Minister shall, without prior notice, suspend an authorization certificate if

• (a) new scientific evidence or other new information demonstrates that a precursor set out in Part 1 of Schedule VI to the Act can be readily extracted from the preparation or mixture mentioned in the certificate, having regard to the complexity and cost of extraction, or demonstrates that the preparation or mixture may be or has been used in the production of a controlled substance;

• (b) the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the suspension is necessary to protect public health, safety or security; or

• (c) the Minister has reasonable grounds to suspect that the continuation of the certificate presents a risk of a Class A precursor being diverted to an illicit market or use.
