Trudeau says the Liberals will also work on other long-term measures to make it easier for workers to stay home when they’re ill

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’ll push the provinces to give workers 10 days of paid sick leave a year as the country deals with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because they hold only a minority of seats, the Liberals need the support of at least one of the main opposition parties to pass this motion. Those included more help for businesses to cover their fixed overhead costs and a straightforward plan for how the Liberals would follow through on a promise of financial support for seniors.“Every time we spend five minutes talking about parliamentary rules, we’re spending five minutes less talking about what Quebecers require,” he said.

“If the government does not deliver on paid sick leave for all Canadians and real support for Canadians with disabilities, then we will not be supporting the motion,” he said.

Does that mean I get 10 days off.?🙏

. Trudeau's leading by example. Trudeau took 48 personal days last year. Stayed home for 60 days, paid and with a 6% increase, during a pandemic when he should be leading a country in crises. We should get the same!🤔 Leading by example. . .

If you can't treat your employees like the humans that they are, then you don't deserve to be in business. HUMANS require a living wage and they tend to get sick once in awhile. It's about time.

The federal government doesn’t even provide this to federally regulated workers...

The left will never let a good crisis go to waste. 🌹 coronavirus TruthOverFacts TakeTheRedPill

Another blow to the private sector. By the time Trudeau is done, there won't be a private sector anymore. Everyone will work for the government. There's a term for that but I can't put my finger on it....

The automotive manufacturer lobbyists successfully removed the 10 ELOA days from Ontario and replaced it with 3 days unpaid personal sick leave. This will never happen in Ontario

So more businesses can close. Haven’t business suffered enough. Maybe this guy needs to figure out how to help businesses not hurt them

If the Fed civil servants still victims of the dysfunctional pay system (Phoenix), working thru the 'technical limitations on virtual attendance' is a pipe dream...

Goodbye small business. Hello automation.

Four day work week; 32 hour work week;10 day sick leave; Minimum Wage at $20 per hour; freeze rental increases for 5 years; Tipping at 5,7,9%; Increase taxes 1% per year for the next 5 years; No Carbon Taxes; Only Canadian citizens can purchase property; and internet for all.

Ahhh so it’s still up to the provinces. Looks like Alberta won’t be getting it

Garunteed my work will see even more lay offs and contract workers with no benifets, this is rediculas

The Idiot Clown Boy! 🎈🤪 & Repeat PeterPanPM 🧔🤡🥔🧦🤡🥔🧦 MagicKingdom

Companies aren’t going to be able to afford anything pretty soon, let alone 10 days of sick leave

Shoulda made his mask out of cork.

Been nice knowing you, “private sector.”

Stay in your lane, labour law belongs in the provincial responsibilities. You're not going to survive long in prison JustinTrudeau

How could this work and who would pay?

Singh & Trudeau has no brain in their heads, full of shit, they think Money grow on trees, another way to make business very difficult in Canada and push it to move south
