Hey I just sat and heard Justin Trudeau speak at Trent University.
He had a lot of good things to say. Then he asked for questions.
The first question was about tuitions and the costs of tuitions. The second was about attack ads. Then I got to stand up and ask a question.
My question to Justin was simple.
What is your position on the presumption of equal shared parenting in custody and access cases in family court barring any involvement with "A child in need of protection"?
Justin needed clarifying the question, which is I think where I missed up, I talked about eliminating "The best interests of the child" and replacing it with "A child in need of Protection" and although I didn't like everything he said, I did like some of it. I will post the audio of this question online soon.
So I have two other questions that I'd like to ask Justin or other MP's perhaps some we can hone the questions so they make more sense and perhaps some people can start asking these questions and bring family law reform to the for front of the media.
So here are the questions I think we should be focusing on.
1. What is your position on the presumption of equal shared parenting in custody and access cases in family court barring any involvement with CAS or "A child in need of protection" given the recommendations of the Special Joint Committee on custody and access "For the sake of the children" and how it is to better to remove custody and access from a family court system that is so adversarial where lawyers actually encourage conflict so they have more billable hours.
2. What is your position on the equal funding of domestic violence support systems and public awareness campaigns, given that Stats Canada has published that domestic violence is now done by both genders equally both in numbers 51% man / 49% women and severity, yet there are no public awareness funding or support funding for men and fathers who live in fear that they will lose their children if they leave a situation let alone have a place to take themselves and their children.
3. What is your position on the Child Support Scandal that started in 1997 and now grows by $100,000,000 a month? And has now grown to an estimated $20,000,000,000 by the end of 2013.
Just to clarify here I'm not posting or stating that I am for or opposed to any of these issues, but they seem to be the ones that would sort out a lot of other problems. No name pointing here, no discussing of the issues, simply focus on the questions and making them the best questions to propose.
And if anyone is near a Justin Trudeau or other candidates then stop in and ask one of them a question, lets all work together and bring family law reform to the fore front of the debate.
