Tina Strehlke, the CEO of the Minerva Foundation for B.C. Women, describes the policy as a "nudge" for parents aimed at normalizing the societal change that it's not just women who take leave. "It can help to normalize and neutralize for women that they are not seen as the worker who is going to leave, take time out or suffer those consequences of being out of the labour market for a long period of time."
