Summary:
The claimant was disqualified from receiving benefits for failing to accumulate a sufficient number of hours of insurable employment under section 7 of the Employment Insurance Act. He needed to have accumulated in his qualifying period at least 700 hours, and he had only 442 hours to his credit. Even extending the period did nothing to help the claimant qualify because he was receiving payments from the CSST at that time. The claimant attended his appeal hearing, and did not provide any valid ground of appeal that showed the slightest error in the calculation of the insurable hours the appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
