Thank you. Mr. Speaker, I don't know if I can answer all the detail of the question the Member has posed. However, it's not uncommon for this government and most governments to charge fees for services that they provide to the public. For instance, if you go in and want to register a document in court registries, there is a fee. If you want to get a driver's licence, there is a fee for that. When the public asks that a service be performed that isn't being provided to everybody, it isn't unusual that there would be a fee charged. My understanding is that that's the situation also with maintenance enforcement, that if a sheriff has to take some action there is a fee charged for it. It's not just in maintenance enforcement, it would be the same with serving papers and so on. Thank you.
