Harper promises to extend parental leaves, enhance EI benefits
Stephen Harper made families the centrepiece of election promises made during a Saskatoon stop on the campaign trail Wednesday.
“There is no experience like being a parent, it changes everything … of course it changes how you work,” Harper said in front of a small group of Saskatoon supporters Wednesday.
“Who stays home with the new baby? For how long, and how do parents mange that financially? These are all serious decisions,” he said.
Harper announced a four-part package meant to give new parents more job security and more options to manage their income.
