Court Rules EI Discriminates Against Mothers | Canada News
Description
Federal Court of Appeal delivers a landmark ruling declaring it unconstitutional to deny EI benefits to women who lose jobs shortly after maternity or parental leave — a major victory for six Quebec mothers who’ve fought this battle since 2018. The unanimous decision exposes systemic gender bias in Canada’s EI system, forcing Parliament to overhaul the law within one year. Lawyers say this ruling could empower countless other women navigating work-family balance, and current claimants are urged to keep their appeals active as reforms loom.
