When they finish their maternity leave, they have to work hundreds of hours to become eligible again. A growing number of women are stuck in precarious employment and cannot access EI.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5969291\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Women in Canada are paying the price of an EI system that discriminates against them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5969292\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why have the Liberals failed to deliver for working women and what will they do to fix this injustice?</p>",
