Summary:
The claimant failed to prepare a curriculum vitae, contact employers or show any interest in rapidly returning to the labour market. He stated that, after working for 35 years, he had made his contributions and was entitled to receive benefits. This interview clearly shows that the claimant was not available within the meaning of the EI Act. The claimant stated that he had not looked for employment since he started receiving benefits and that his priority was a trip to Europe, which had been planned a very long time ago. The Commission’s appeal is allowed and the Board of Referees’ decision is rescinded by the Umpire.
