         name restored to the register or any part of the register:
   (b) Impose 1 or more conditions that must be satisfied by the person
         before he or she may apply to have his or her name restored to
         the register or any part of the register, which conditions may
         (without limitation) consist of, or include,---
           (i) A requirement that the person undertake a specified course
         of education or training:
           (ii) A requirement that the person undergo any specified
         medical examination and treatment or any specified psychological

         treatment or therapy for alcohol or drug abuse:
           (iv) Any other requirement designed to address the matter that
         gave rise to the person's removal from the register or part of
         the register.

   (2) The Tribunal shall not impose any condition under subsection (1)
 (b) of this section requiring a person to undergo any medical,
 psychiatric, or psychological examination or treatment, or any
 psychological or psychiatric counselling or therapy, unless the person
 consents to the examination, treatment, counselling, or therapy.

   (3) If, pursuant to subsection (1) (a) of this section, the Tribunal
 fixes a time after which a person may apply to have his or her name
 restored to the register or any part of the register, no application

 to the register or, as the case requires, that part of the register may
 be made or considered until that time has expired.
