This is from the published bill.
This enactment amends the Employment Insurance Act to provide that a person to whom employment insurance benefits are payable to care for a newborn child or a child placed with them for the purpose of adoption remains eligible to receive those benefits even if the child dies during the benefit period. It also amends the Canada Labour Code to extend the period of bereavement leave to which an employee is entitled in the event of the death of a child of the employee or of their spouse or common-law partner.
