Summary:
It is my view that in its use of the 2 phrases, "good cause" and "just cause", Parliament did not intend that they be treated as synonymous even though in the abstract they may be difficult to distinguish. "Just cause" implies a somewhat more stringent standard to be met.

Summary:
He withdrew from the course without any discussion with the Commission prior to leaving. A simple declaration by the claimant that a course was not advantageous does not in itself constitute "good cause".

Summary:
Parliament did not intend that "good cause" and "just cause" be treated as synonymous. I find that the Board erred in law in its reference to "just cause" when it considered the reasons for the claimant's failure to attend the course.
