11.4. The Workmen’s Compensation Act (chapter A-3) applies to a recipient or beneficiary doing work under a designated program.
For the application of the said Act,(1) the recipient or beneficiary is deemed to be a remunerated worker;
(2) the indemnities owing to the deemed remunerated worker are computed on the basis of his estimated weekly income, taking into account the income he would have earned at the time of the accident had he then held the employment he had before becoming a recipient of social aid, but if it is impossible to determine his weekly income in this way, the Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail shall determine it by whatever method it believes most suitable in the circumstances;
(3) the Government is deemed to be the deemed remunerated worker’s employer for the purposes of payment of the assessments.
