17. Subject to the conditions the Minister determines, the Minister may recognize as an employment-assistance allowance or a support allowance financial assistance paid to a recipient under the Social Assistance Program or the Social Solidarity Program by a person, an association, a partnership or a body with which that recipient engages in activities of the same nature as those for which such allowances are granted.
For the purposes of this Act, financial assistance granted as an employment-assistance allowance to a Native person under a workforce and employment agreement entered into with the Government of Canada and determined by regulation is financial assistance recognized by the Minister as an employment-assistance allowance.
