Yes, absolutely. I think that's a very important move to make.
There are far too many women who have been forced to go back to work and are having to find child care for their infant.
Child care is another huge barrier in Nova Scotia. My daughter was on a wait-list when I was three months pregnant, and she only got in to day care when she was two years old. Some of the placements were that long.
It's incredibly stressful not to have that maternity leave coverage.
