| (2) Where the Minister is of the opinion that the application of this Part to an industry is likely to affect that industry in such a manner as to cause serious repercussions to that industry, the Minister may by Order published in the Gazette declare that this Part shall not apply, or shall apply subject to such conditions as may be specified in that Order, to that industry. Any Order made by the Minister under this subsection shall be placed as soon as practicable before the House of Representatives for approval.

|
| (4) If any question arises as to whether an industry is of a seasonal character or whether work in that industry is done only intermittently, such question shall be determined by the Commissioner and his decision on that question shall be final and conclusive. |
