Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Lelievre and Falardeau v. M.N.R., 2003 TCC 55 (CanLII):
In Théberge v. Canada, supra, Noël J.A. writes as follows at paragraph 61 of the decision: Moreover, a person who receives unemployment insurance benefits and continues to work, without remuneration, after his or her termination of employment enables the employer to benefit from labour that is paid for not by the employer, but by the government. However, unemployment insurance is not a business support program; it is essentially a social measure that protects people who were genuinely employed and have lost their job.
