Summary:
The claimant, a self-employed "fisher", was refused benefits. According to the Commission, he had accumulated $5,483.50 in insurable fishing earnings during his qualifying period whereas in accordance with the EI Fishing Regulations he required $5,500 because he was a new entrant. The claimant complains that a Commission agent had informed him that he had sufficient earnings to qualify and, had he not been so informed, he could have made up the additional $16 required. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
