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.
In Nova Scotia and Quebec, length of time enrolled
does not exceed 13 years because in 1996 the Maintenance
Enforcement Program information systems were implemented by the Nova Scotia
Department of Justice and the Ministère du Revenu du Quebec, and the
date of enrolment for previously enrolled cases was set to 1996.
In Quebec, cases enrolled in the annual tables
include direct payment cases. Direct payments are defined as payments made
by the payor to the recipient which do not involve the maintenance enforcement
program. Furthermore, cases enrolled in the annual tables excludes inactive
cases where the payor has no financial means or cannot be found. Other annual
tables are tables 1, 3, and 17.
In Saskatchewan in 1997, an increase in
staff, judges, and the introduction of the Child Support Guidelines may have
increased the number of cases processed in that year. In 2006/2007 to 2008/2009,
it corresponds with cases of 10 to 15 years duration.
Note(s):
Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding. 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.
