Since having children and helping relatives is not unemployment, AFEAS asks that the government first render eligible for employment insurance program benefits any person who performs the role of parent or helper, regardless of his or her status as a paid employee, self-employed worker, student or person in the home; increase maximum insurable earnings to the level that will be used by the Quebec parental insurance plan in 2006, that is to say $57,500, since the current level of $39,000 is very low and has not been increased in a very long time; review benefits granted at the birth or adoption of a child so that parents receive replace ...[+++]ment income at a minimum rate of 70 percent of insurable earnings, without a qualifying period; provide, for parents, 15 weeks of maternity benefits, five weeks of non-transferable paternity benefits — so that only fathers can use them — and 35 weeks of parental or adoption benefits shareable between both parents, which already exists; pay a minimum, universal weekly benefit to mothers and fathers on the birth or adoption of a child over the number of weeks during which they are not eligible for maternity, paternity, parental or adoption benefits.

The framework agreement provides for an individual right to parental leave to be granted, in principle on a non-transferable basis, to all men and women workers on the grounds of the birth or adoption of a child to enable them to take care of that child for at least three months, until a given age up to eight years.
