Yes you do get maternity leave even if you are laid off. Sometimes you can even get it if you quit yourself but it depends on their discretion.

Thats a good link and you can prolly find some contact number on it as well.
You meet the specific criteria for receiving EI maternity or parental benefits
EI maternity benefits are payable only to the
biological mother who is unable to work because she is pregnant or has recently given birth. To receive maternity benefits, you need to prove your pregnancy by signing a statement declaring the expected due date or the actual date of birth.
EI parental benefits are payable only to the
biological or adoptive parents while they are caring for their newborn or newly adopted child. To receive parental benefits, you must sign a statement declaring the newborn’s date of birth or, when there is an adoption, the child’s date of placement for the purposes of the adoption and the name and address of the adoption authority.
