Summary:
The Commission found that the claimant was operating a business, that he was not unemployed and had made false and misleading statements. Counsel for the claimant argued that the claimant did not withdraw money from his business and therefore it could not be said that the claimant was not unemployed. Under section 30 of the Regulations, earnings from dividends that have been reinvested in one's small business constitute income. In response to question 38 as to whether he was an owner of or partner in the company where he was employed, he answered "no". This "no" clearly contradicts the information that Quebec's enterprise registrar had on file where, the claimant is designated administrator, president and initial shareholder of the construction company. The claimant’s appeal is dismissed.
