It is a very simple subamendment to the one Ms. Hoeppner just moved to amend paragraph 78.1(1)(a). I want to add the following:
That Bill C-350, 78.1(1)(a) be amended to read: “any amount owing by the offender pursuant to a common-law partner, spousal or child support order made by a court of competent jurisdiction.”
This is a Canadian reality. Two people who are not married are nevertheless considered as common-law partners by the law. It would be interesting to add that.
