There is something you have not talked about. What about people who are diagnosed with cancer, who receive treatment and have to take leave from their job. I think they get only 15 weeks of employment insurance benefits.
I, personally, have seen many people with cancer who get treatment and quite often lose their job afterward. In fact, the 15 weeks do not cover them long enough. Some might return to work too soon after going through a rather difficult time under chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
You have not made any requests in that regard. Is there a reason for that, or have you indeed made such requests?
