It’s so crazy cause it feels like so many people are protected and covered financially by the government but when it comes to mothers we’re so easily screwed over

Québec lets you claim EI after maternity leave cause they pay parental benefits seperate from EI it's a provincial program and they pay 70% instead of 55% during mat leave

I asked for a lay off after I hadn’t been scheduled for a shift in 11 days, my partner worked off shore and I was 22 years old, I was gunna go back closer to my parents since I was 7 months pregnant, they said not a problem, even dropped off my ROE at my parents home an hour outside of the city, wrote on it I quit. I was devastated. None of my hours counted, I appealed, they suggested I look for another job for the 40ish hours I needed to qualify for maternity leave, at this point I was 8 months pregnant. The most special time of my life quickly turned into an actual nightmare. Left me literally penniless. Good thing my partner at the time had a good job and could support us and our new baby.

I think it should also be illegal for employers to terminate your employment in the 3 months following your pregnancy announcement permitting you have passed your probationary period. I know many people who have been let go as soon as they announce theyre expecting and then they don't qualify for full maternity or parental leave once that time comes.

My job closed its doors when I was 2 months pregnant. Then I tried to find a job to finish my mat leave hours but no one was hiring. Took me months of job hunting to finally find something, and it was an awful, stressful job that made my blood pressure spike. Had to hide my pregnancy from my employers too so that they wouldn't find a reason to just let me go, knowing that I would be gone for a year.

Even if this does get implemented, why do I feel like it’s going to be a lot of hoop jumping to be able to actually receive it

User1029384747382 :
To be clear, Does this mean we could go on maternity leave for a year then go on it again before accumulating the 600 hours? Even if we have a job? Like we could have lower intervals between children without not getting EI?

I’m glad they won because that’s crazy! This is why family planning is important, you can’t trust these companies 100 percent.

what do you think about this victory? How long do you think it will take for changes to come into effect?

Alicia Cunningham :
Maternity leave should be its own entity and not part of unemployment insurance. Mothers need money more than ever when having a baby, not significantly less.

I couldnt go back to work after my first born because we didn't have daycare or childcare whatsoever, got pregnant two years later and didn't qualify for maternity leave because I didn't work, what has happened to every single hour that I have worked before my kids? I've been working since I was 16, why don't my hours accumulate, and why is 600 hours the chokehold and the only thing looked at... I have certainly worked more than 600 hours over the course of my work life.

When can we expect any further action or changes from this?

canadianpatriot2025 :
You know what else is unfair. I am paying EI same as my spouse, why is our Parental Time subject to sharing? This policy seriously needs to be revoked and implemented separately. We both should have equal time allocated to us as in we BOTH get a year or extended if we want. EI is not for the government, it is for us for one of many purposes such as this.

Elliott Moose :
Maternity leave and EI regular benefits should be separate.. I’m currently laid off and 6 months pregnant, if I took regular EI it would have affected my maternity leave, took 2 months to find and start a new job.. 2 months in this economy with no pay..
