Specifically, the submission addressed two questions raised by the Discussion Paper in relation to amending the six month length of service requirement for maternity and parental leave under the <em>Canada Labour Code<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To what extent should parental, maternity, and sick leave under Part III be aligned with EI benefits?<\/li><li>Would it be reasonable to reduce the current length of service requirement for parental and maternity leave from six months to three months?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>LEAF submitted that there should be no qualifying threshold for maternity and parental leave. A \u00ab\u00a0no qualifying period\u00a0\u00bb provision is the only principled approach that is consistent with Canada&rsquo;s domestic and international human rights obligations to prevent discrimination in employment arising from pregnancy and child-rearing, and to promote women&rsquo;s substantive equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joanna Birenbaum, Jo-Ann Kolmes, and Marcia Tait prepared the submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the submission below.<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2009-05-Submission-Of-LEAF-And-LEAF-Edmonton-On-The-Length-Of-Service-Requirement-For-Maternity-And-Parental-Leave-Under-The-Canadian-Labour-Code.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">2009-05-Submission-Of-LEAF-And-LEAF-Edmonton-On-The-Length-Of-Service-Requirement-For-Maternity-And-Parental-Leave-Under-The-Canadian-Labour-Code<\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[],"tags":[451,452,450],"class_list":["post-18377","submission","type-submission","status-publish","hentry","tag-labour","tag-maternity-leave","tag-parental-leave"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
