Summary:
To read par.14(b) of the Act so as to include the sickness of one's dependant child conflicts with a plain reading of the provision and with Reg.47. Par.14(b) should only come into play where a claimant's own illness renders him or her incapable of work.

Summary:
Nothing contradictory between S.14 and S.28 of the Act. A person who quits his or her job to care for a sick child will not be disqualified, but he or she will not be eligible to start receiving benefits until he or she is available for work. The two provisions function independently.
