Studies show that even 26 weeks isn't enough. That's why we were talking about 50 weeks. We wanted to give people time to fully recover.
I am the status of women critic.
Ms. Sonea, you raised the issue of unpaid work and what it means for family caregivers. You mentioned a refundable tax credit. Besides that, a women's group is calling for a day to recognize invisible work in order to reflect on this issue. As we all know, cancer has a huge impact on the patient's loved ones. Caregivers must be involved. One cannot go through an ordeal like cancer all alone. The consequences are enormous. Women are particularly and disproportionately affected.
By designating a day to recognize this invisible work, we could also reflect on all the ways in which invisible work could be appreciated more. This could have an impact on cancer caregivers.
