LÉTOURNEAUJ.A. [1] We are satisfied that the Umpire was justified in intervening with respect to the decision of the Board of Referees. Once again, it failed to ask itself the proper question, but this time as far as the employee is concerned rather than the employer, as indicated by the following conclusion that it drew: Given the aforementioned case law, the members of the Board of Referees believe that the claimant did not lose her employment due to her own misconduct, as she was justified in protesting as she did. Her actions were intended to protect her safety and safeguard inmates and the general public. [2] It was not a matter of asking itself whether the employee was justified in walking out and participating in an illegal strike in the same way that it was not a matter of determining whether the employer was justified in dismissing an employee: Attorney General of Canada and Marion, A-135-01, May 8, 2002 (F.C.A.). The question that it had to ask and answer was whether participation in an illegal strike constituted misconduct within the meaning of the Employment Insurance Act, S.C., 1996, c. 23, and whether the employee had lost her employment by reason of her misconduct. [3] That is what the Umpire did and we were not satisfied that he misdirected himself in law and erred in any way that would warrant our intervention: Attorney General of Canada v. Namaro, 46 N.R. 541 (F.C.A.); Attorney General of Canada v. Kenny, 48 N.R. 225 (F.C.A.); Canada (Attorney General) v. Brissette, [1994] 1 F.C. 684 (F.C.A.). [4] For these reasons, notwithstanding the very able arguments of Mr.Ouellet, the application for judicial review will be dismissed with costs. "Gilles Létourneau" J.A.
