Basically, what the licensee wants is to suspend operations so that he no longer has to pay insurance, which accounts for the bulk of his costs. You're saying that in the past, when his insurance lapsed, the licensee would give notice to the agency to suspend his licence.
Si le demandeur, après un an, veut faire annuler ou suspendre sa licence, il est libre de se présenter à l'office pour faire une demande d'annulation ou de suspension.
