Mr. Speaker, these arrears are hurting the families, the single parent, that is, and certainly the children, and keeping them in their situation of poverty.
Ontario has a website called goodparentspay. They even shame the bad parents who don’t pay. They actually have posters, almost like wanted posters showing this.
I go back to the problem because we still haven’t got an answer for it. What does it take to engage an order that is legally directed by the courts? The Minister knows of the particular example, but it is not the only example out there. People have found the debtor, pointed them to maintenance enforcement and nothing has been done to go get the money that is duly court ordered and owed to them. So, frankly, this family continues to struggle like so many.
Can the Minister focus just on that question and not dance around it? Thank you.
