I assume this mother is referring to parental leave, as maternity leave is only 15 weeks; parental leave is 35 weeks.
“I would really like to see that parents of multiples get the number of years [of benefits and leave] as they have children. You know if you have twins to get two years, if you have triplets, get three years,” she told CBC News Monday.

I agree that women should have more parental leave to take care of their children. I think three years might be a little steep, also there are not that many sets of triplets out there.
In fact, the US standard of 12 weeks is probably harmful to the company. It’s just enough time to get the replacement in and up to speed before you let them go because the person is returning.
