Submitted by Terry Hearne – Deadline to sign up by: 13 March 2008 – Signatures: 54
More details from petition creator
The current 2 week allowance is unjust and unfair, allow men to have at least 6 weeks at home with their newborn child. Allowing this time for a father to bond will be good for both the child and the father.
