3. The Minister will respectfully recommend the Governor-General to make regulations in the terms set out in the Schedule hereto (herein called “the proposed special regulations”), and will move the Executive Council to give its advice and consent to the making of the proposed special regulations.

4. In accordance with the provisions of section 9 of the said Act, the regulations in relation to the plan, as finally approved by the Minister, will not be brought into force unless the Governor-General in Council is satisfied that the material proposals contained in the plan and in the regulations have been submitted to and have been approved by a majority of the persons engaged as principals in the industry or have been approved by persons employing a majority of the workers engaged in the industry.

And it is further notified that the Minister will forthwith after the 29th day of May, 1941, refer to the Bureau for consideration any recommendations or objections relating to this provisional plan that may be received by him pursuant to the said Act, and all such recommendations or objections should accordingly be delivered to the Minister not later than the last-mentioned date.
