Thank you, Madam Chair.
Madam Minister, we know that Quebec now has the responsibility for parental leave and that a transfer was done to cover the costs for that type of leave. We also know that the major part of what you want employment insurance to cover involves parental leave. I remind you that people who take parental leave usually use up the 35 weeks provided for in that regard, whereas only 15% of those who take sick leave use the full 15 weeks provided. For compassionate care leave, there are 6 weeks. So what this means is that the part that covers compassionate leave and sick leave is the least costly.
Can you explain how you manage to have employment insurance pay for all of the premiums for Quebec workers to obtain the two types of leave that are the least costly?
