I do not know if you or anyone you know ever had to collect employment insurance. If you are refused benefits, for any reason, you may appeal the decision. Suppose that the three commissioners find in your favour. After having gone through all the steps and delays, you are ready to receive your cheque but, suddenly, the decision is challenged for reasons that had not been raised earlier during the whole process. So, you end up in a situation similar to the one described by my colleague. Sometimes, you may have been waiting six, seven, eight or ten months to collect your employment insurance cheque but, suddenly, the whole process starts anew.
I don't know if this clarifies the problem for Mr. Komarnicki. In any case, we should have a close look at this kind of situation.
