Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question on page 7-22, under maintenance enforcement. That is the first that I have seen this. I wonder if I can ask, what is the process that is followed in this activity? I have been getting calls from constituents. I have two cases right now and I wish to protect the confidentiality of these people, so I will give you enough information to identify the problem here.
In one case, this woman has outstanding support payments that her ex-husband owes to her. She feels there is not enough followup in this office, the maintenance office, when her ex-husband falls behind in the payments. This woman is also familiar with the Alberta process. She said the Alberta office seems to do more in terms of following up with telephone calls or whatever. However, in the territorial maintenance enforcement office, in her opinion, all that gets done is sending an e-mail to wherever. I think the money from her ex-husband comes from outside of this jurisdiction, so she has to contact wherever that jurisdiction is. This office has to contact the other office to follow up, but she feels there is not enough support behind it.
I have not verified the facts here. I do not know the background. I do not know how this office in the Northwest Territories works and I do not want to make any judgments about that. I am sure they are hard-working people here in Yellowknife. I wonder if the Minister could advise me as to anything so I could tell my constituent. Thank you.
