Thank you for your question.
We did, in fact, submit a brief with a proposed amendment attached. We think the content is fair. The wording could obviously be reworked, but the idea is there. This is an amendment that specifically targets parents who are receiving benefits for a critically ill child, parents of a child under 18 or another family member who cares for a person under 18 who is receiving compassionate care benefits.
The amendment, as it indicates, is specific to those people. It would also amend the Canada Labour Code to ensure that leave defined in the code does not conflict with measures under the employment insurance program. It would cover both of those aspects, which would help many parents.
