It's not "ok" that three-quarters of all family support isn't being paid the way it should be. It's not "ok" that over $140 million of our tax dollars have gone to families who were forced to turn to social assistance because their support payments were not being made. The Ontario Government's new Family Support Plan will introduce automatic wage deduction of sup- port payments, and specify to whom and when they apply.
