MATERNITY, PATERNITY & PARENTAL LEAVE, Employment Insurance (EI) in Canada

I recently gave a financial talk for women physicians and while the finances of maternity leave in Canada was a small part, the majority of the questions were about maternity leave. Pregnancy comes with a lot of stress, so I've recorded the mat leave portion of my talk to help provide a simple overview of how mat leave and parental leave works so you will feel more prepared financially when planning your pregnancy.
