Petition to the House of Commons
- Employment Insurance parental benefits are revoked immediately following the death of a child under one year of age;
- Being forced to return to work immediately after losing a child is not always an option for grieving parents; and
- The financial hardship that some parents have to go through, in addition to their grief, can be overwhelming.
