Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the report of the Government which also refers to information supplied in the Government's report on the application of Convention No. 105.

1. The Committee requests the Government to refer to the observation on the application of Convention No. 105 as concerns the situation of Haitian workers or workers of Haitian origin in sugar plantations, particularly as regards the discriminatory practices to which they are subject in their conditions of work and wages.

2. The Committee again requests the Government to provide details on the situation of Haitian workers or workers of Haitian origin who are, according to the information furnished previously by the Government, engaged in other sectors of activity such as agricultural work, stock-raising or construction.

3. The Committee notes the statement of the Government according to which it expects to complete revision of the Labour Code in 1992. The Committee reiterates its firm hope that the revision of the Labour Code, to which the Government has been referring for a number of years, will be completed very shortly and that the new Code will contain provisions formally prohibiting all discrimination in employment and occupation (particularly in respect of working conditions and wages) on the grounds of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention.
