[ID] 1170 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] I work for a large company and our paid maternity leave is 6 weeks for natural birth and 8 weeks for cesaerean section births. I have many friends who live in Canada and they are given ONE FULL YEAR of paid maternity leave. I don't understand how a country considers it healthy to put a 6 week old child in daycare. There are many sick children due to this and this is causing healthcare costs to rise. I had to take 2 months of unpaid maternity leave in order to make sure that my son was taken care of. I would have preferred to be out for 6 months (the maximum amount of time my company will allow for unpaid leave) but with the current economy issues, I was forced to go back to work early. [Topic]
