Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received since 1998. The Committee hopes that a report will be supplied and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 1998 direct request, in which it noted the provisions of sections 46 and 47 of a Bill respecting placement and vocational training as they relate to the responsibilities, composition and functioning of the Placement Commission. The Committee considered that the establishment of this Placement Commission would meet the requirements of Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention with regard to the “suitable arrangements” which were to be made for the cooperation of representatives of employers and workers in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of its general policy. The Committee had therefore requested, in 2005, a copy of the Act replacing the Bill. Since there has been no response, the Committee asks the Government to transmit a detailed report so that it can re-examine the situation in the light of the texts which are in force.
