Adjournment Proceedings

In this adjournment debate, Conservative member Garnett Genuis asked the government to include five Conservative proposals on parental leave in the federal budget being tabled later that day. The proposals were: letting parents pause and restart their leave, letting parents on leave take courses or earn limited income caring for other children, letting both parents protect their public pension contributions while raising children, and ensuring benefits continue to a family if a parent on leave dies. Liberal parliamentary secretary Daniel Gobeil replied with a list of existing government measures for families, including child care funding, the school food program, employment insurance improvements, paid sick leave and pay equity, and said the upcoming budget would do more. Genuis pressed for a direct answer on whether the proposals would be adopted; Gobeil repeated that the government was already investing in families.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
