Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute regularly engaged courses of study
Summary:

The Commission argues that one must have a job to be engaged in an occupation. I would not so narrowly construe the section. Not synonymous with employment which is not used. Broader significance as per dictionary. It could refer to the activitity of a student. [p. 4]
