Again, I think that will reduce stress for people, because that's a stressful situation: to be sick when you have a small child.
What would be a further improvement is allowing regular benefits to be stackable with parental leave. When they return to work or if they lose their job, they no longer qualify if they haven't had the time. It might take up to six months to a year to requalify for EI, especially if they go back part time. Let's say they're working 20 hours a week after having a child; that could take up to 35 weeks before they requalify for EI again. So if they were to get sick or lose their job after they'd gone back to work, it would be great if we could extend the benefits the way Mr. Moreau was explaining.
