Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I should have stated that in the situation of this woman, she is familiar with the Northwest Territories system and the Alberta system. I think her current partner owes money to the Alberta government or owes money to his ex-spouse, who lives in Alberta. They feel that whenever he falls behind payments, the Alberta maintenance office is after him, writing letters, calling him and does all that that needs to be done.
Whereas this woman's ex-husband is in the Northwest Territories jurisdiction, and when her ex-husband falls behind a payment, she just feels not enough is done to get her ex-husband here to pay the support payments.
I am aware this office does a lot of good work. It does very important work. I felt maybe they were overloaded with cases or something, so they are not able to follow up on the cases as quickly or as strongly as possible. I guess I have to take the Minister's word for it. He says he is not aware of any complaints that might have been received by this office. I do not know. I think I have to also give the benefit of doubt to my constituent who is calling me.
Mr. Chairman, I have another question. I guess the previous one was a comment. Maybe I will follow up with the Minister and give more detailed personal information on that other case.
My second question has to do with enforcement of judgement. I have a constituent whose husband has outstanding child support payments of upwards of $15,000. She has obtained a court judgement, but her husband is a sole proprietor businessperson, so she is hoping his assets or his salary or bank accounts be seized in time to collect this $15,000 so he does not dispose of his assets.
I am wondering, what is the policy or procedure within the maintenance enforcement in terms of how they act on seizing properties or enforcing a judgement? Is this too much of a specific question? Can I get that answered?
