Mr. Speaker, the government does indeed consider it a priority to help Canadians strike a proper balance between work and family life.
As outlined in the throne speech, the government is going to bring in changes to these programs in order to provide Canadians with the necessary support when they need to be off work to care for a child, partner or parent who is seriously ill or dying.
Our main objective will be to provide an appropriate and effective response to the needs of Canadian workers and their families.
