62.0.1. The Board may refuse to issue a licence if issuing the licence would be contrary to the public interest, for example because the applicant or, in the case of a partnership or a legal person, it or any of its officers is unable to prove good moral character and a capacity to exercise activities as a contractor with competence and integrity, given the past conduct of the applicant or the officer.
The Board may, in that regard, conduct or commission any verifications it considers necessary.
