Returning to assistance after temporary work

Summary

Mr. Moore asked whether taking temporary employment disqualified someone from returning to unemployment assistance; the Chair said the issue should be raised with the appropriate Minister.

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that, should a person who is drawing unemployment assistance take up employment temporarily, even for a week, he is then debarred from going back on assistance?

The Deputy is raising a matter of policy which is not for the Parliamentary Secretary but for the appropriate Minister.
