On November 17, 2011, the Discipline Committee ordered a permanent suspension of Mr. Duc Quang Nguyen’s licence, enforceable as of the date of the decision, and notwithstanding appeal, if he is the holder of a licence issued by the OACIQ or, if not, whenever he becomes a licence holder again.

Given that Mr. Duc Quang Nguyen is not a licence holder, his licence will be suspended permanently whenever he becomes a licence holder again.
