Summary:
Since the unemployment rate in the Chicoutimi/Jonquière region where the claimant lived was 11%, the claimant would be entitled to 21 weeks of Employment Insurance benefits. The claimant appealed on the grounds that fellow workers had been entitled to between 10 and 15 weeks more because they live in the Lac St-Jean region. The claimant has failed to show that section 12(2) of the Act violated her equality rights guaranteed under section 15(1) of the Charter.
