Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the Minister pointed out, it is reported by other
jurisdictions that this is the single most effective enforcement tool that is available to them.
I should also point out that this is not something that would be imposed early on in the enforcement process. We do use a progression model. In this case the debtor would have to reach a certain threshold in terms of either the amount of arrears or the time that has passed without payment. That is going to be set by regulation. As I recall, what we are looking at is an amount of three months of arrears or $3,000, whichever occurs first.
