Summary:
The claimant was outside the country from January 28th, 2006 to July 31st, 2006 to visit her mother who was ill and hospitalized. Her mother died during her visit. The Commission had determined that the claimant was entitled to seven days during her absence from Canada. The Board of Referees exceeded its jurisprudence in allowing the claimant to benefit from two of the provisions under subsection 55(1) of the Regulations. The legislation does not permit combining two reasons to extend an absence from Canada.
