Labour Code: Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia: The changes provide job protection for parents and guardians who need to take leave from work when faced with a family crisis, according to CTV. Nova Scotia is the third province to bring its labour code in line with federal changes in employment insurance benefits and HALIFAX -- The Nova Scotia government has changed to its labour code to protect the jobs of parents whose children become critically ill or victims of a serious crime. Labour Minister Frank Corbett said the changes were prompted by appeals from Valerie Loveys of New Waterford, whose daughter Stephanie died of cancer in 2008. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
