Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
job creation  remuneration to be repaid as overpayment 

Summary:

Retroactively disentitled due to pregnancy. The fact that claimant was engaged in a Job Creation Project does not alter this unfortunate situation. She is now required to pay back the money received while working.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
job creation  disqualification and disentitlement 

Summary:

Job Creation Projects are work projects sponsored by employers whereby participants receive UI instead of wages. It is clear from reading s.25 that claimants must be eligible to otherwise receive benefits under the Act in order to be eligible for Job Creation benefits.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
reconsideration of claim  errors by Commission  not a ground of entitlement 

Summary:

Misleading or erroneous information given by an official of the Commission will not preclude the application of the legislation. The law can only be changed by Parliament. Misinformation does not give rise to a liability on the part of the Crown. Estoppel cannot be invoked.
