The federal party leaders entered the final week of the election campaign on Sunday.
Conservative leader Erin O’Toole announced plans to support parents experiencing a miscarriage, stillbirth, or loss of a child.
O’Toole says his party would extend EI parental leave for at least eight weeks after a child’s death, and provide parents with three days of paid bereavement in the event of a miscarriage.
“Canada’s Conservatives will end the stigma and ensure parents have access to the financial support and time they need to mourn,” O’Toole said in a news release.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh repeated his commitment to close loopholes and crack down on big corporations avoiding their fair share of taxes.
The party pointed to figures from the Parliamentary Budget Office which shows Canada misses out on up to $25 billion a year in taxes.
Singh said he would invest in the Canada Revenue Agency to help with audits on large companies and the wealthy.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was in Quebec to highlight what his party would do for that province if re-elected.
Voters will head to the polls on Sept. 20.
