Okay.
By proposing to amend the Employment Insurance Act and the Canada Labour Code, Bill C‑222 seeks to enable parents who receive parental benefits to continue to be entitled to them, even in the tragic event that the child dies during the benefit period. This is a simple but profoundly human measure that aims to bring more compassion and dignity to our family support system.
Mr. Beech, why is it important to ensure that parents don't have to submit new claims or repeat painful information? How does this bill address those challenges?
