(1)-(2) I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. I am advised that the Government expects and encourages the mining industry to give consideration to the employment of local labour wherever possible. The decision to use local labour is made by the mine operator based on issues including the availability of labour, skills and accommodation, and health and safety factors. The Government neither forces the mining industry to obtain its work force from a specific location nor mandates where it is to be accommodated.
