Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On June 8th of this year I had asked questions of the Minister of Justice in regard to what work was being undertaken to address the issue of equal shared parenting. Mr. Speaker, statistics show that 46 percent of marriages in Canada are ending in divorce. Mr. Speaker, a lot of these divorces also have the custody of children involved in them. Mr. Speaker, these can impact the lives of children for decades and decades after the fact. In June I had asked the Minister to advise this Assembly if he had had any discussions with the federal Minister of Justice, Mr. Vic Toews, in regard to advancing shared parenting legislation and I would like to ask the Minister today if indeed that discussion has taken place. Thank you.
