Thanks for those questions.
I understand that in trying to understand better what stakeholders have had to say with respect to the requirement for a medical certificate, we have heard from a variety of stakeholders and, as you point out, particularly from some in the health profession. They have been questioning the need or the added value of providing a certificate.
We have also heard from other stakeholders who have been concerned about not having the ability to check on the validity of an employee using the paid sick leave for its intended purpose. Again, the whole purpose of having a certificate requirement was that, within 15 days after the employee returns to the workplace, the employer would be able to request the medical certificate, if needed. That would be a validation, but the employer is not required to ask that from the employee.
