There is a separate site for Tax Court decisions (on insurability issues, etc.). The search page is located at https://decision.tcc-cci.gc.ca/tcc-cci/35/en/nav_su_date.do.

== E. Digest of Benefit Entitlement Principles ==

This two-volume policy manual is published by the Commission and is amended periodically. It contains a summary of general law and policy for each subject matter, with references to the relevant sections of the ''EI Act'' and Regulations, and refers to many decisions of the Umpires and Federal Court. However, it is written by the Commission, and many chapters do not accurately describe the cases. It must, therefore, be used with caution, and '''not''' as a sole reference. However, the online version is the most reliable source, as few printed versions are fully up to date. The manual can be found [https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/ei/ei-list/reports/digest.html online].

== F. Employment and Social Development Canada ==

Employment and Social Development Canada (“ESDC”) maintains an extensive website with many tools, which is located at https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development.html.
