Summary:
The claimant had lost his job because he had failed to show up for work, as he was under the influence of drugs. The Court concluded, relying on its decision in Turgeon (A-0582.98) that, as with a person with an alcohol problem, the voluntary and reckless use of drugs, particularly illegal drugs, is not an excuse and is not sufficient to make the disqualification under the EI Act inapplicable to a claimant.
