We don't even know how many divorces there are a year in Canada. Because of the changes in Statistics Canada over the decades, we have much less basic statistical data now on family justice than we did in the past, let alone the kind of research that, understandably, your committee and others, and members of the public want to know. So, if we do this, what are the savings going to be, and so on? We need both a lot more statistical data, which should be obtained and, in some cases, was obtained by the government, and more broadly, we need more research on family justice.
