347 (1) The Minister must decide whether to grant his or her approval of the issuance of a licence for the exportation of oil or gas within 90 days after the day on which the Commission makes its decision under subsection 346(1). (2) Despite subsection (1), if the Minister grants his or her approval after the expiry of the time limit for doing so, the Commission’s jurisdiction to issue the licence is not affected and anything done by it in relation to the issuance of that licence remains valid. (3) The Commission must issue the licence within seven days after the day on which the Minister grants his or her approval.
