Petition to the Government of Canada
- A large majority of Canadians, including 65% of millennials, report that they lack an adequate work-life balance;
- Everyone should have an adequate amount of time off from work to spend with their family and those they love without feeling stigmatized or otherwise negatively pressured;
- The government has committed to improving work-life balance for workers under its jurisdiction;
- The government's consultations on modernizing federal labour standards in 2018 showed that a majority of stakeholders were in favour of adding more paid vacation days for employees;
- Research shows that more paid vacation is beneficial to the health, happiness and productivity of workers, the tourism sector and the economy at large; and
- Peer nations of Canada, such as France, have had labour laws providing for four weeks of paid vacation since the 1970s.
