Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for at least getting the discussion going now.
We have cases where we have in excess of the $10 million of outstanding payments to family members through the Maintenance Enforcement Program that has recently been reported upon. The example I am providing is not just a single example, it’s applied many times over, shamefully of course. But why is it left to the single mothers to track down these folks to make sure they are paying, or at least tracking them down for maintenance enforcement? We have cases where these people have found them and maintenance enforcement has not engaged with this particular debtor’s employer and made them pay their maintenance enforcement through a garnishment program.
What is stopping the maintenance enforcement from doing that? What is the delay? What type of
process engagement, because we have families that are unfairly being denied this money. Thank you.
