I want to bring the conversation back to paragraph 9(d), because I think you've raised a really critical point about the unintended consequences of having this amendment introduced. Paragraph 9(d) says:

9 A benefit under this Act

(d) is garnishable moneys for the purposes of the Family Orders and Agreements Enforcement Assistance Act.

There may be some conflict here. Can you explain that one a little more? I think it highlights what we're concerned about, which is that there may be unintended consequences. Could you speak a bit to that?
