That is precisely why our government introduced legislation to ensure that people who fall ill while they are on EI parental leave can get sick leave as well. It was in 2013 that we put it forward. We promised it and we also delivered it.</p>",

Voil\u00e0 pourquoi le gouvernement a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9, en 2013, une mesure l\u00e9gislative faisant en sorte que les personnes qui tombent malades pendant qu'elles touchent des prestations de cong\u00e9 parental dans le cadre de l'assurance-emploi puissent \u00e9galement toucher des prestations de cong\u00e9 de maladie. Nous l'avions promis et nous avons tenu parole.</p>"
