The purpose of parental benefits is to facilitate: the care and nurturing of the child by both parents, whether biological or adoptive; and a period of bonding between parents and their child.
To ensure recruitment, employment and retention of suitably qualified women and men, the CF, as an employer of choice, will provide maternity and parental benefits that assist both female and male members to balance the demands of military service with family responsibilities associated with the birth or adoption of their children.
The CF provide eligible members with time away from their military duties and compensation to care for their newborn or adopted children free from undue financial or duty-related concerns.
These benefits support policies of: gender equity by encouraging both parents to share family responsibilities; and employment equity by encouraging the recruitment and retention of women.
For details, see Maternity/Parental Benefits.
