The Committee notes the Government's statement that a proposal to extend the General Regulations to public contracts other than those for public works will be presented to the Ministry responsible for public works. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report that measures have been taken to ensure the application of the Convention to all kinds of public contracts covered by Article 1(1)(c) of the Convention.

In addition, the Committee notes from the Government's report that in 1986 the Minister of Labour asked the tripartite Labour Advisory Board for advice on the adoption of legislation with respect to the possibility of extending certain minimum provisions of collective labour agreements to a comparable economic branch, sector or category of undertakings, but that the Labour Advisory Board has not yet advised the Minister. The Committee hopes that the Government will keep it informed of any progress made in this connection.
