I thank the witnesses for their attendance. What criteria are the Department looking at with regard to the seasonal work permits? As for the labour market needs test, I note the Department is taking out the detail as to what is required to do that test but that employers still have to do the test. How do the witnesses envisage that will be carried out? How will the Department regulate that and ensure it is done to a certain standard? Do the witnesses have an idea of what might be required, even though it is not written down?
