Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is raising the idea of creating a use-it-or-lose-it, funded leave for new dads, doing so days before he unveils a spending blueprint that has been the focus of lobbying efforts for further changes to national parental leave policies.
The idea would be similar to the paternity leave policy in Quebec, which is the only province that provides funded leave for new fathers.
Quebec's system provides up to five weeks of paid leave to new fathers that covers up to 70 per cent of their income.
