Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today I talked about a parenting after separation course. It’s a program offered in Alberta and Saskatchewan. I know this is not a flashy issue for most and it doesn’t create a lot of controversy, and it will probably get zero attention through the media process because there’s no kicking and screaming. But the fact remains about this issue is I hope it doesn’t lose the chance that we have for promoting a positive relationship when parents go through a divorce to help children.
I brought the issue to the attention of the Minister of Justice and he forwarded me on to his staff members to bring the idea to them. They had heard about it. I had an excellent meeting with his staff and I think it was very productive about this. I’d like to hear from the Minister of Justice about this issue, to see if they’ve done any work on a possible program called Parenting After Separation to help parents communicate, learn a little bit about themselves, and learn a lot about their behaviour and the impact it has on children. What work has been done through the Department of Justice?
