8. Social aid shall not be granted to an individual who, within the meaning of the Unemployment Insurance Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter U-1), has lost his employment in consequence of a stoppage of work attributable to a labour dispute or to a family where an adult has lost his employment in similar circumstances.

The adult who could not or was not declared eligible for benefits by the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission under the Unemployment Insurance Act due to the fact that he has lost his employment in consequence of a stoppage of work attributable to a labour dispute, is considered to have lost his employment in consequence of a stoppage of work attributable to a labour dispute.

The aid may be granted from the time that the individual or the adult of a family could be declared eligible by the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission for the benefits contemplated in the second paragraph, or sooner when the Minister may conclude that the labour dispute may be considered to be ended according to the criteria determined by regulation.

However, the aid that was already being paid to that individual or to that family and would have continued to be paid even if the adult had remained in his employment may continue to be paid to him to the same extent and on the same conditions.
