The average monthly caseload for the year is calculated by taking the sum of the monthly figures and dividing by 12. In certain instances, monthly average caseload is calculated using 11 months of data if caseload data from one month are not available.
Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Alberta, Yukon and the Northwest Territories report detailed microdata through the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs. The other jurisdictions in the table report aggregate data through the Maintenance Enforcement Survey.
New Brunswick converted to a new information system in February 2008 and a new interface to the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs was built for the new system. Data collected the first few months of 2007/2008 was through the Maintenance Enforcement Survey. Data for March 2008 was collected through the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs.
Note(s):
Interjurisdictional support order-out cases are excluded. As a result of the random rounding methodology, some small differences can be expected in the corresponding values between tables.
