At first view, this measure seems pretty interesting because it gives a lot of flexibility to an individual claimant. For instance, if you had two parents, and they had the opportunity to decide who would like to take parental leave, and one says, “Well, I'll take it for two weeks now, because I have a contract that's coming up”, then the father can take a long period and they could switch again when those contracts change.
In Service Canada's opinion, what are some of the reasons you might give for this causing issues, and do you have any costing of this as well?
