Nova Scotia expands bereavement leave to include miscarriage, stillbirth

Global News published this video item, entitled “Nova Scotia expands bereavement leave to include miscarriage, stillbirth” – below is their description.

The Nova Scotia government is putting partisanship aside to make changes to the province’s labour laws in order to better support women and their partners who suffer a miscarriage or stillbirth.

The expansion on the province’s bereavement leave laws was inspired by the daughter of a Liberal MLA whose daughter experienced a tragic loss.

Elizabeth Cushing’s daughter, who they named Ruby, was stillborn at 32 weeks.

“I loved her. I love her, and she will always be my daughter,” Cushing told Global News.

Ross Lord has the details on the new law and the parents who inspired it.
