Yeah. I'm just glad I live in a country where I can take up to 12-24 months leave,(currently 18 weeks paid) and be secure in the knowledge that my job will be available for me when I return to work.
In a free economy there's no guarantee that your job will be available for you when you return to work.
Our leaves are available equally to mothers and fathers. I really don't care how they split it up between themselves.
That being said, longer leaves make for happier, healthier and more stable families.
I thought that the "family values" crowd would be supportive of more stable families, but I guess i was mistaken.
Carry on.
Could you please post your source for the bolded statement?
I'm all for family values but I'm also all for the government staying out of my private life. It is not the government's place to declare what families should do and by paying moms (it's mostly moms even in Canada it seems) to take longer leaves they are doing just that. They are saying to these families "Do what WE think you should do" by paying them to do it. THAT is a liberal mind set.
