Summary:
As the crab fishery got closer, the claimant spent more time on the repairs to his ship. Umpire found that the claimant was self-employed in fishing and spending a considerable amount of time on the ship's repairs. Referring to Jouan (A-366-94) and Taschuk (A-616-95), the FCA reaffirmed the principle that preliminary steps taken by a claimant to start up a business are to be taken into account in determining whether the ss.43(2) exception applies.

Summary:
As per the Board, if a fisherman has gear in the water, he is deemed self-employed and is not entitled to UI. Based on the facts of this appeal, I cannot accept the proposition that the mere placement of nets in the water automatically means that claimant spends his entire day fishing. Minor in extent.
