You talked about the need to reduce child poverty, which is an objective of Bill C-78, specifically through measures to facilitate the enforcement of support orders. Such measures are clearly very helpful in reducing the impact of divorce on the parent who has custody of the children. Some people argue, however, that their effectiveness is limited, especially for families with low socio-economic status.
I have three sub-questions.
What percentage of parents in Canada do not meet their support obligations? Do we have that data?
