Summary:
According to par. 57(1)(b) of the Reg., holding public office is considered "employment" for purposes of determining income for the Act. There is no ambiguity in this provision and it clearly stipulates that the sums received by the claimant as a city councillor are to be considered income, are to be allocated and are to be deducted from the amount of benefit otherwise receivable.
