To the editor:
Child support payments made to single parents on income assistance in British Columbia are clawed back from their monthly cheque.
This is the standard policy of all 10 provincial governments in Canada, regardless of which political party holds government office.
Here in B.C., the NDP Opposition led by John Horgan wants this policy reversed, so child support payments remain intact to the parent.
I then ask how come this request has not been adopted yet in the other nine provinces. Isn't B.C. a province in Canada?
