That is definitely a question that a lot of people more qualified than me could answer. I honestly can't speak to the actual policy. In terms of what could be done for self-employed individuals, again, I had been working, but I wasn't going to be able to take the leave so I just didn't return to my place of employment. I transitioned to self-employment instead, so that I could go back to work at my own pace. That is why I ended up becoming self-employed. It ended up being a benefit for Saskatoon, because I had the time and resources to put into Empty Arms.
I wasn't self-employed before my loss, so I can't speak to that so much. I had planned to go on parental leave, but I didn't qualify for it.
