In Nova Scotia, separate figures for provincial orders and agreements are not available. The combined figure is included in unknown.

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Alberta and Yukon report detailed microdata through the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs. For these jurisdictions, the authority of the support order is unavailable for cases that do not have an active regular payment obligation. The other jurisdictions in the table report aggregate data through the Maintenance Enforcement Survey.

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.
