Summary:

Many months after leaving his job for health reasons, claimant moved from Edmonton to 100 Mile House where he had a relative. Comparison between the labour markets had to be made with respect to claimant's situation. This was not done here. The policy was applied blindly. The fact that Edmonton was obviously a much larger labour centre than the 100 Mile House area was no compelling proof that the claimant's chances of re-employment were, in his particular circumstances, significantly reduced.
