summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees rules of construction change of wording
Summary:

The word "severance" in subparagraph 57(3)(h) which reads "cessation définitive" in French does not include an indefinite layoff. The subsequent amendment replacing severance by "layoff or separation" and deleting "définitive" in the French text is a change of legislative intent, not a clarification.
