The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending May 1998 and the information provided in reply to its previous comments. The Committee once again notes the difficulties encountered by the Government in harmonizing the federal and provincial regulations with the provisions of the Convention, particularly with regard to the maximum length of the working day prescribed by Article 2 of the Convention and the determination of the circumstances and limits within which exceptions to normal working hours may be allowed (Article 6). The Committee is bound once again to express the hope that the Government will take the necessary action to ensure the application of these provisions of the Convention and that it will take into account the points raised by the Committee in a request addressed directly to the Government.
