The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its last report and, in particular, the special agreements that have been concluded with CARICOM and OECS territories, as well as with Canada, in order to facilitate reciprocity. These agreements are now reflected in the National Legislation (Acts Nos. 5, 12, 13 and 14 of 2001). The Committee requests the Government to communicate copies of these Acts.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would provide, in accordance with Part V of the report form, information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including statistics on the number and nationality of foreign workers employed in Saint Lucia, the number of accidents involving these workers and the payment of compensation due to them or their dependants in the event of residence abroad, both for States with which Saint Lucia has concluded a reciprocity agreement and for any other States.
