(a) the licence is revoked under section 16, or

(b) the Director-General gives the licensee a written notice stating that the suspension is lifted.

(3) The authority conferred by a licence ceases to have effect during the period that the licence is suspended.

(4) However, the Director-General may authorise a person, during the period that a licence is suspended, to cultivate or supply, in accordance with the conditions of the licence, any low-THC hemp that was in the possession of the licence holder immediately before the suspension took effect.
