The UCP introduced the Labour Statues Amendment Act in the Alberta legislature earlier this month (May 2022). As originally proposed, Bill 17 would amend the Employment Standards Code to expand access to bereavement leave to employees who experience a miscarriage or stillbirth. Any employee who would have been a parent — including biological parents, adoptive parents and surrogates — would be eligible for bereavement leave. Labour Minister Kaycee Madu introduced an amendment to change the wording. It proposed the words “miscarriage” and “stillbirth” be replaced with “any pregnancy that ends in a result other than a live birth.” “(This legislation will cover) stillbirth, miscarriage and yes, abortion and termination for medical reasons.” We spoke to the lobbyist of Bill 17, Sarah Biggs.
