I move amendment No. 56:

In page 20, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following:“(2B) In the case of an application for an employment permit in respect of the purpose referred to in paragraph (b), (c), (f) or (h) of section 3A(2), subsection (2) shall not apply to such application where—

(a) on the day on which the application is made the person referred to in subsection (2)(a) has no employees,
(b) the foreign national in respect of whom the application for the grant of the employment permit is made will be the sole employee of the person referred to in subsection (2)(a) on the date on which the employment that is the subject of the application is to commence,
and
(c) the Minister is satisfied that having regard to the employment in respect of which the application is made, the foreign national concerned will be the sole employee of the employer concerned, and the person making the application shall, in addition to any information required under section 6 or as may be prescribed in respect of an application, provide the Minister with any information and documents the Minister may require to satisfy himself or herself of the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (c).”.”.
