    been revoked and determined.
  11. In the event of this Order in Council being revoked

    or expiry, as the case may be; and, if the licensee fails so
    to do, the Minister may cause the said shed to be removed
    and the site so restored, and may recover from the licensee
    the costs incurred by the said removal and restoration.
