Quebec goes beyond the Canadian norm in this area, though still nowhere near some European countries: https://www.educaloi.qc.ca/en/capsules/maternity-paternity-a... (EI premiums are lower here, because a separate QPIP payroll deduction funds the more generous paid leave benefits described at this link in lieu of the corresponding federal ones.)

We also have $8.25/child/day government-subsidized daycare.
