Parental Leave Expected In Budget

All eyes are going to be on Ottawa this afternoon as they unveil the federal budget.

Bruce Ball is with Canada’s Professional Accountants and expects to see an announcement on an extra five weeks of parental leave.

It’ll allow both parents to be off at the same time, which is similar to a popular program in Quebec.

It’s designed to help mothers re-enter the workforce with greater ease.

Ball wants to hear from the Finance Minister on how Canada will remain competitive with the US in light of that country’s massive corporate tax cuts.
