Expanded parental leave, new caregiver benefit, to come into effect Dec. 3, as questions remain
Soon-to-be-mothers will be able to claim maternity benefits up to 12 weeks before baby is due

New parents planning to begin parental leave on or after Dec. 3 will be able to spread their federal benefits over more months, but many will have to wait on provinces and their employers before they can actually get the extra time off.
When the federal government's long-promised changes to parental leave rules go into effect, eligible new parents will be able to spread 12 months of employment insurance benefits over 18 months after the birth of a child.
Other changes for family caregiver benefits and the option to take maternity benefits 12 weeks before the baby is due will also come into effect on the same date.
Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said the changes, first outlined in this year's federal budget, combined with the new child benefit and other changes to the EI system are all designed to give families more flexibility and help the economy as well.
"Anything that makes it easier for families to balance work and life is good for our economy, is good for our businesses," he said at an event at an Ottawa hospital.
The change in rules will automatically give workers in federally regulated workplaces like banks, transport companies, the public service and telecoms, the option of taking time off.
Provincial changes are still needed for the other 92 per cent of Canadian workers to access similar leave. So far, Ontario has publicly said it will adjust its legislation.
Affected workplaces will also have to decide how to amend existing leave policies and collective agreements that spell out issues like salary top-ups.
"It's only certain companies that will do that, but certainly they'll have to fit it over the framework," said employment lawyer Natalie MacDonald of MacDonald & Associates.
The measures the Liberals first promised in the election have been problematic for employers and child care advocates, who asked the government to boost the value of parental leave benefits over 12 months and make it easier for workers to qualify. As designed, anyone who opts for the longer time frame will receive up to $326 a week as opposed to $543 week over 12 months.
Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said small business owners aren't expecting a large amount of take up for the new measures, because they seem only to benefit high-income Canadians who can afford to take the extra time off.
Morna Ballantyne, executive director of the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada, said the government should have opted to fund a dramatic increase in daycare spots for children under 18 months, which are difficult to find and the most expensive in the country, in order to help more families. Duclos suggested the extra leave could help parents with this daycare crunch.
The math of parental leave
The Liberals once hinted at creating dedicated paternity leave similar to what is available in Quebec, but have since been quiet on the idea. Still, the expanded parental leave may boost the number of non-birthing parents, like fathers, taking leave, said employment lawyer Bram Lecker of Lecker & Associates.
Federal officials estimate that about 20,000 families will opt for the extra time, but caution the figures could vary. Much will depend on family finances and where parents are in their careers.
"Everyone has to do the math and most people when they're expecting a baby, the last thing they want to do is math," said Nora Spinks, CEO of the Vanier Institute of the Family.
Marie-Eve Whitefield and her husband are doing the math now ahead of February, when the couple's second daughter is due to be born. She is also helping other expectant parents working at Ottawa's Montfort Hospital as part of the team that handles maternity and parental leave.
"Financially it's a big decision and depending on how long my husband wants to take as well, it's a shared leave. So it's all under negotiation," Whitefield said.

Expanded parental leave takes effect Dec. 3

OTTAWA - New mothers and fathers planning to begin their parental leave on or after Dec. 3 will be able to spread their federal benefits over a longer period of time.
The federal government's long-promised changes to parental leave rules will go into effect early next month, says Families Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, allowing eligible new parents to take up to 18 months of employment insurance benefits after the birth of a child.
On that same date, a new family caregiver benefits will also kick in -- one a 15-week leave to care for a critically ill or injured adult, the other a 35-week benefit to care for a critically ill or injured child.
New mothers and fathers who are poised to go on parental leave before the end of the year will be able to spread federal benefits over a longer period of more time starting next month.
Eligible soon-to-be-mothers will also be able to claim maternity benefits up to 12 weeks before the baby is due.
However, the government won't increase the actual value of employment insurance benefits for anyone who takes the extended parental leave: instead, the Liberals are sticking with their 2015 election promise to spread 12 months' worth of benefits over 18 months.
The change in rules will automatically give more workers in federally regulated workplaces like banks, transport companies, the public service and telecoms the option of taking time off, and are likely to spur calls for provincial changes to allow the other 92 per cent of Canadian workers access to similar leave.

OTTAWA—New mothers and fathers who are poised to go on parental leave before the end of the year will be able to spread federal benefits over a longer period of more time starting next month.
The federal government will today unveil the details of its long-promised changes to parental leave rules that will allow eligible new parents to take up to 18 months of employment insurance benefits after the birth of a child.
Sources say the new rules will take effect next month, but the exact date will be disclosed later today by Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos.
On that date, a new family caregiver benefit will also kick in, and eligible soon-to-be-mothers will be allowed to claim maternity benefits up to 12 weeks before the baby is due.
However, the government isn’t expected to increase the actual value of employment insurance benefits for anyone who takes the extended parental leave. Instead, the Liberals will stick with their 2015 election promise: spreading 12 months’ worth of benefits over 18 months.
The change in leave rules will automatically give more the option of more time off for federally regulated workplaces, which include banks, transport companies, the public service and telecoms, and are likely to spur calls for changes to provincial labour laws to allow the other 92 per cent of Canadian workers access to similar leave.
Affected workplaces will have to decide how — or even if — to amend existing leave policies and collective agreements that spell out issues like salary top-ups.
As is, the federal parental leave program pays out benefits for up to 17 weeks for new mothers and allows parents to split an additional 35 weeks.
Under the changes first outlined in this year’s budget, new parents will decide when they apply for employment insurance benefits whether to take additional weeks off, which can be split between parents. Once either receives the first dollar of parental leave benefits, the choice is locked in.
Anyone on the 35 weeks of parental leave before the new measures officially come into effect won’t be able to switch and take off the extra time.
The Liberals budgeted $886 million over the next five years for the new measures, and $204.8 million a year after that.
All the parental leave changes won’t affect Quebec, which has its own parental leave program.
