Summary:
Claimant received 40 weeks of combined (15 maternity, 10 parental, 15 regular) benefits. She alleged that the legislation was discriminatory because she was not entitled to the full 40 weeks of regular benefits under Schedule I. The Federal Court of Appeal had previously ruled that the combined benefits cap was not discriminatory (Sollbach A-197.98). The Court concluded that Sollbach was still good law and dismissed the case of Ms Miller. N.B. The Supreme Court of Canada denied Ms Miller's request for leave to appeal.
