Summary:
I am clearly of the opinion that the statistical methodology adopted by Parliament for determining regional rates of unemployment is a legitimate differentiation in terms of qualification, based on legislative policy considerations. Not prohibited by s.15(1) of Charter.
Claimant's argument regarding the failure to distinguish between male and female claimants is totally lacking in merit because it supports the very sort of discrimination based on personal characteristics which s.15(1) of the Charter prohibits.

Summary:
The Board did not err in law by refusing to address the argument that the impugned statutory provisions regarding regional unemployment rates and statistical information violated claimant's guaranteed right of equality under s.15(1) of the Charter.
