Yes, the Department of Justice is fully aware of this concern. A lot of dissatisfaction is expressed with the ability of the Maintenance Enforcement Program to collect support for children that is ordered by the courts.

The department is working hard to try to ensure that families and children receive the support payments. That has to be done on a timely manner. There has been a lot of work done by the department to look at trying to improve the efficiency and communication with the clients. We have to look at the maintenance enforcement legislation within the Northwest Territories.

We have to review that and improve it. That is one thing that we have to do in that area. Obviously, there are some shortfalls and shortcomings in that area. We do everything we can to try to enforce the court orders to provide timely payments. In some cases, we are not very successful, but in many cases we are. We have to look at that. There are administrative processes and procedures and practices in the maintenance enforcement office that we have to review as well. Perhaps there are areas in the actual administration program that could improve. We are working hard to try to use the existing legislation. At the same time, perhaps we have to look at the legislation that provides for that and see what we can improve in that area. Thank you.
