Thank you. The amendment as moved would provide to employees referred to as having a sort of seniority—so having at least two years of experience with that employer—the ability to start at the outset with 10 days of medical leave with pay, without having to earn those in the first year.
Certainly as I understood that, it would impact the majority of employees, who would certainly have some experience. I don't have the figure for who would have more than two years of experience, but I would certainly say the majority of employees would be starting with 10 days rather than starting with zero and having to earn one day per month, effectively, to reach that maximum of 10. It would presumably make sense to frame this in terms of “continuous employment”, which is a term that is already used within the Canada Labour Code.
