Thank you, Mr. Chair

Thank you, Minister, for taking the time to provide your voice to this committee.

On Friday, I heard a lot from expectant mothers with regard to those who would qualify for EI. Some were put on EI early, and some were put on the CERB, and they were afraid they would be impacted by this because they wouldn't be accumulating insurable hours.

Can you explain to this committee what changes have been made to maternity and parental benefits?
