It is not always easy to determine the income of one of the parties and to ensure that the other parent pays child support. That is why we put in place what we believe to be the best system possible for ensuring that such transfers are efficient and transparent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5755619\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Obviously, we cannot do everything in one divorce bill; we will need to legislate in other areas to improve the lot of Canadians living in poverty. For example, we instituted the Canada child benefit, which helps children in such situations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5755620\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are always willing to consider other ways of combatting poverty.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5755617\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon honorable coll\u00e8gue de ses commentaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5755618\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce que nous avons fait dans le projet de loi, c\u2019est ce que nous aurions pu faire. Il est parfois difficile de d\u00e9terminer les revenus de l\u2019une des parties et de s\u2019assurer qu\u2019un montant est vers\u00e9 pour l\u2019enfant par l\u2019autre parent. Nous avons donc mis en place ce que nous croyons \u00eatre le meilleur syst\u00e8me possible afin de garantir la transparence et l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 de tels transferts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5755619\" data-originallang=\"fr\">\u00c9videmment, nous ne pouvons pas tout faire dans un projet de loi sur le divorce. Il faut donc s\u2019appuyer sur d\u2019autres types de loi et de projet de loi qui vont am\u00e9liorer le sort des Canadiens et des Canadiennes en situation de pauvret\u00e9. Par exemple, nous avons l\u2019Allocation familiale pour enfants qui aide les enfants dans de telles situations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5755620\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Nous sommes toujours dispos\u00e9s \u00e0 nous pencher sur d\u2019autres projets pour combattre la pauvret\u00e9.</p>"
