I would hope so, because the program is available through income support and employment insurance benefits.
At the latest federal-provincial-territorial meeting I spoke with my colleagues just very casually about the concept, and it's really up to their own legislatures to put in place what they can in the timeframes that are there.
I will tell you that in Saskatchewan right now they provide 12 weeks of leave per year for employees in case of a serious family illness or injury. That can be extended to 16 weeks in certain circumstances.
We already talked about Quebec. In fact all provinces except Alberta provide some kind of short-term family responsibility leave, ranging from about three to 10 days.
This one is a significant leave. This one is our commitment to Canadian families, and we've illustrated that through the legislation we've introduced. I would hope that Canadian families who are not federally regulated will be able to take advantage of it as well when provinces put in place the leave provision so they may be able to collect and not worry about whether or not they have a job.
