I move amendment No. 9:

In page 25, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:“(5) At the conclusion of the inquiry, if a finding of a disciplinary breach under section 201 has been made and/or if a sanction has been imposed under section 201A, the child shall be informed of his or her right to send to the Director, for transmission to the Minister, a petition concerning the finding or sanction or both the finding and sanction, and he or she shall be informed of the time limit of 7 days after the date of being informed of the finding and the imposition of any sanction for the submission of such a petition, as provided in section 201B(1).

(6) At the conclusion of the inquiry, if a finding of a disciplinary breach under section 201 has been made and if a sanction of forfeiture of remission of portion of a period of detention has been imposed, the child shall be informed of his or her right to notify the Director of his or her intention to appeal against the finding or sanction, or both finding and sanction, to an Appeal Tribunal, and he or she shall be informed of the time limit of 21 days after notification of the finding or sanction to notify the Director as such, as provided for in section 201C(1)(b).”.”.
