	SUMMARY
	This enactment amends the Employment Insurance Act. It provides that where, as a result of the bankruptcy of the employer of the claimant, the claimant receives no earnings, or only part of the earnings, owed to the claimant in respect of a time in which the claimant was employed in insurable employment by the employer, the claimant shall be deemed
	(a) for the purposes of the provisions concerning the calculation of the number of hours during which the claimant was in insurable employment, to have been in insurable employment during that time, even though the employer did not pay the claimant the earnings owed to the claimant in respect of that time;
	(b) for the purposes of the provisions concerning the calculation of the claimant's insurable earnings, to have been paid the earnings in respect of the employment; and
	(c) to have paid, pursuant to this Act, the employee's premium in respect of the earnings that the claimant is deemed to have received from the employer by virtue of paragraph (b).
