self-employed women
PM Stephen Harper has made campaign noises about extending Maternity leaves to the Self-employed. Can it happen?
Canada has pretty decent maternity leaves--especially when compared to its southern neighbor. However, self employed women (including doctors) have not been included in this largesse. It's a real hardship.
Should we allow the self-employed to pay into unemployment? What's the benefit? And will Canada really be able to afford it?
