Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just had a question on the maintenance enforcement. I know we changed the legislation on that a few years back. Is the Minister able to report on any trends and how we’re doing in that area? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m assuming that the question deals with some of the provisions that were introduced around drivers’ licences and
that type of item that can be used in order to convince people to pay up when they owe monies for maintenance. While I don’t have with me any specific statistics or information, certainly on an anecdotal basis we hear from individuals working in maintenance enforcement as well as from clients that those additional tools that are available to maintenance enforcement are quite helpful and do work. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks for that response from the deputy minister. I believe it was 2009 when we passed that legislation, and I guess I would appreciate an update at some point on some of those statistics, and I think it would be useful for the department to look at that and see where we’re at on that. I know it wasn’t without some kerfuffle. So just any sort of evaluation on how that’s working out would be much appreciated. That’s all I had. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m just wondering: the framework for enhancing victims’ services, $500,000 a year from the federal government with a five-year program. It looks like we’re into the final year here; it could be running out next year. I’m just wondering if that’s the case and whether we’re seeking a renewal with that and also whether there’s been any evaluation, if we can
expect next year to get an evaluation of how the program has worked. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We’re in the third year of the five-year plan and there is an evaluation built into the program as well. Of course, we would hope that at the end of five years the funding would be able to be renewed in some way, shape or form. Thank you.
