Quebec Parental Insurance Plan: They will have their employment insurance!

In fact, thousands of young parents benefiting from the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP), and who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, have seen their files completely blocked with the Canada Revenue Agency by submitting a asks the Canadian Economic Recovery Benefit (PCRE). Aid to which they are perfectly entitled under the law, but whose officials had not received any clear instructions.

“For the past three weeks, parents at the end of their rope have contacted my office. They are living on food aid and are on the verge of losing their homes. I wrote directly to Minister Qualtrough last week. In 48 hours, three citizens saw their cases settled and the amounts paid after two months without receiving a single penny, ”explained Caroline Desbiens.

Among these parents, Laïla Racine, who agreed to speak to CIMT last Thursday, had no income for more than two months.

“Of course, I thank and welcome the minister’s openness to these specific cases, but it proves that the government has been aware of the issue for a long time and that nothing has been done upstream for all Quebec citizens in the same situation” , believes the member. “My colleague Louise Chabot, Bloc Québévois spokesperson for employment continues to hound the government to resolve the situation for all people in the same situation. We know that there are hundreds of others all over Quebec ”.

“I am very happy to have helped my citizens in Beauport and Charlevoix, however the fact remains that thousands of other families in Quebec are waiting for the same outcome and these people are on the verge of losing everything because of administrative errors, which is inexcusable, ”concludes Caroline Desbiens.
