Flexible parental leave rules
Garnett Genuis · 30 signatures
Petitioners ask the government to allow pausing and resuming EI parental benefits within 18 months by mutual agreement, permit training without benefit loss, and exempt limited paid caregiving from clawbacks. The government responds that EI already allows block-taking, training and some paid work during claims and that it will continue improving EI.
