   award or industrial agreement a reasonable opportunity of
   expressing its views, issue to the applicant a permit to be
   trained and employed in the industry, or any branch or
   branches thereof, at such rate of wages as he thinks fit, and

applicant that the wages should be advanced in accordance
with the scale, increase the rate of wages accordingly.

5. During the currency of such permit it shall be the
   duty of the employer to teach, and the duty of the applicant
   to learn, the work of the industry or branch or branches
   thereof specified in the permit, and such duty to teach and
   to learn as may be prescribed in the award or industrial
   agreement for apprentices shall apply to the employer and the
   applicant.

6. Notwithstanding anything in this Order in Council,
   if the applicant seriously misconducts himself or is repeatedly
   absent from his duties, the employer may notify the Minister
   thereof, and the Minister may, if he thinks fit, cancel the
   permit.

7. In any case where an applicant has, since his incapacity,
   been employed in the industry or branch thereof to which
   his application relates for not less than one month, the pro-
   visions of this Order in Council as to the issue of temporary
   permits shall not apply, and the Inspector may, on the
   approval of the application pursuant to clause 2 hereof,
