This notice is hereby given pursuant to subsection 17.1(18) of the Employment Insurance Regulations.
As per subsection 17.1(16), the transitional measures in the Employment Insurance (EI) economic region of Madawaska-Charlotte, New Brunswick, ceased to have effect on August 7, 2011. The required number of hours of insurable employment in a claimant’s qualifying period and the number of weeks for which benefits are payable, using the regional rate of unemployment as determined per subsection 17(1), were exactly the same as under the transitional unemployment rate.
Following the conclusion of the transitional measures, EI claimants in the economic region of Madawaska-Charlotte will have their eligibility for EI regular benefits based on their actual regional unemployment rates.
