In force: 2024-03-06
12.2. The maximum number of weeks of exclusive benefits for the woman or the person who has agreed to give birth to a child in the context of a surrogacy project is 18 or, in the case of an election pursuant to section 18, 15. Payment of the benefits shall begin not earlier than the 16th week preceding the expected week of delivery.
A termination of pregnancy occurring after the 19th week of pregnancy gives entitlement to the same benefits as those provided for in the first paragraph.
Payment of the benefits ends not later than 20 weeks after the week of delivery or the week during which the termination of pregnancy occurs. However, payment may end after the expiry of the 20-week period, but may not exceed the 52nd week after the week of delivery or the week in which the termination of pregnancy occurs if, in the cases and for the time determined by regulation of the Conseil de gestion, the benefit period is extended.
