The Quebec system will continue to apply. The very small number of people in Quebec who actually benefit from the Canadian program would be, for example, people who currently work in Quebec but do not reside in Quebec. We're talking about a very slim minority.
How it works is that basically Quebec, as you said, chose to opt out. The EI program allows for a certain number of benefits—caregiving would be an example and parental would be another—under the condition that the Quebec program would, at the very least, be equivalent or more generous than the Canadian counterpart. At this moment, the Quebec program allows some help for bereaved parents but only through the maternity claim. What that means is that Quebec would possibly have to realign its program.
I say “possibly” because, as I said, the program in Quebec is more generous on other issues. We would have to see how Quebec would move. However, from what I understand of the bill, it would apply to both maternity and parental leave, which is not the case in Quebec, where it only applies to maternity leave except for a two-week period for paternity and parental.
That would be the distinction.
