Thank you.

You gave examples highlighting the fact that 15 weeks is not enough. Specifically, you talked about people who had undergone surgery or chemotherapy treatment. In your opinion, benefits should extend over a 52-week period.

Can you give us other examples demonstrating that the benefit period isn’t long enough?

In your view, why does the government think that a 26-week period is long enough?
