(2) The Minister may approve a variation under subsection (1) if he or she considers that it is in the public interest to do so. (3) In varying a licence, the Commission may impose — in addition to or in lieu of any conditions to which the licence was previously subject — any conditions that the Commission considers necessary or appropriate to give effect to the purposes and provisions of this Act.
