Mr. Speaker, New Democrats fought to bring in a paid sick leave program at the federal level, but when the Liberals introduced the program, it had a number of problems. It is not flexible enough. It is not accessible enough. The amount is not enough to support families, and we are finding that the delays in receiving the payment are just too lengthy.
There is an opportunity here. Experts all agree that paid sick leave is one of the best tools to stop the spread of COVID-19. Will the Prime Minister commit today to improving paid sick leave so that it protects workers and helps us stop the spread of COVID-19?
