But when I read "Employment Insurance Plan" it sounds like something you pay into for future use. I don't know if this is an accurate description of the aforementioned plan or not. Also, I'm not sure how we went from discussing "paid leave" to discussing "vacation". Obviously parenting is not a full time vacation, but if I had to choose between getting paid to raise my own child in my home or getting paid to participate in the rat race in a cubicle with all the attendant office politics, corporate policies and procedures, water cooler gossip, etc. it wouldn't be much of a decision at all. It's great that parents have this available to them, but in my opinon there should be something comparable for non-parents.
