Its what id expect sheers office to put out. I may be mistaken, but they are crowing what they have
done before, and current, and no word on supporting any changes or even to highlight areas of
concern.

it's a white wash. Basically the system works as is. I want to reply but haven't figured out what to say
yet.

Response from Andrew Scheer:
yn
On behalf of Andrew Scheer, thank you for your correspondence regarding the Divorce Act.

We have reviewed your thoughtful perspective on the Divorce Act. Please be assured that
ns

Conservatives support the protection of the best interest of the child in divorce proceedings.
ai

The Divorce Act contains numerous measures to protect and promote the presence of both parents
in the lives of their children. The Act includes a maximum contact principle, which highlights that
children should have as much contact with each parent as is in their best interest. The Act also
br

stipulates that the failure of a parent to foster such contact is a consideration in access or custody
determination.

The court focuses on the best interest of the child. Factors considered in the best interest of the child
test under the Divorce Act include:

· A child’s physical well-being;

· a child’s emotional well-being and security;

· the applicant’s plan for the child’s education and maintenance;

· the child’s financial needs,

· the child’s religious and ethical upbringing;

· the parent’s understanding of the child’s needs;

· the child’s wishes (increases in importance with the child’s age);

· the benefit of keeping siblings together; and

· the bonding between a child and his caregivers.

The application of this test is fact driven. It focuses on the child’s needs rather than the parents’

x
rights.

ta
Our previous Conservative Government provided significant funding to the provinces and territories
for family justice services, such as parental education and mediation. We also renewed funding for
legal aid with a 37 percent increase compared to the previous government. Please be assured that
yn
Conservative Members will continue to advocate for a strong partnership with the provinces and
territories on family law issues. We want to ensure that these laws are as fair as possible to all
parties, especially children.
ns

Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns on this important issue.

Sincerely,
ai

Good day Sir,

I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on your many achievements in politics and
your desire to work for the people. I appreciate your use of humor while pointing out areas of
concern.

One thing that I have yet to see mentioned by any party is the need for family law reform. In recent
history there have been numerous studies regarding the importance of both parents in children's
lives. It has been shown that children that lack the value of both parents, specifically a father, are
more prone to substance abuse, difficulty in school or dropping out of school, the majority of youth
offenders are from fatherless homes etc.

x
I am aware there is already a principle in legislation referred to as "tye maximum contact principle"

ta
however statistics show that, by a very large margin, custody is giving to one or the other (and the
majority of those are the mother).
yn
I am not questioning the role of a mother, however we as a society should not discount the
importance of a father. Tye vital role he plays in teaching children to grow and develop in ways a
mother may not be able to.
ns

A child does not "belong" to either parent, and certainly not one moreso than the other based purely
on gender. These statistics represent an old and outdated stereotypical family model that is very rare
in today's society. It is not commoplace these days for tye father to work while the mother stays
home. Today, with work, or maybe the father stays home, or you mat have 2 moms or 2 dad's, it
ai

could even be possible to have a dad or mom that used to be the other (Bruce/Katlyn Jenner).
br

The point is, unless there is an immediate and substantiated reason to limit a child's contact with one
parent, the starting point needs to be a 50/50 shared custody relationship. It should be the children's
right to have an equal relationship with both loving parents.

This would take, what is currently an adversarial situation and force a cooperation that is rare in a
separation situation. When neither party has control it forces them to work together for the children's
best interest and not their own.

These are just a few of the advantages of this type of system. I would very much like to see this as
being a priority for my government.

This is something that is not discussed often but it should be. Think about the long term advantages.
Children that are better developed whether thier parents are together or separate, less school drop
outs, meaning better educated society, less strain on the welfare system, less youth crime, etc.
This is a worthy cause and I implore you to do some of your own research to verify what I have
presented to you, and then I am confident that you will see the need for change.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I wish you good luck in the coming election.

If you wouldn't mind responding so that I know my words did not just go into a junk folder, that would
be great.

Enjoy your day Sir.

My response to Scheer

Good morning,
yn
After careful consideration of your response, I submit the following;

Why is the suicide rate of separated or divorced fathers so high?

ns

Why are there no consequences for false allegations in family court (or any court it seems)?

Why do the police not get involved if access is interfered with but do not hesitate to act if the non-
ai

custodial parent is late to return the child(ren)?

If there is a non-removal order in family court and the custodial parent leaves, will the law intervene?
br

Will the government pursue if it becomes international?

Yes there is a maximum contact principle, however it is not utilized as you think it should. I know this
from personal experience.

I have circulated your initial response through the fathers rights groups and advocates for shared
parenting, it has not been received well. If the comments so far are an indication of voter approval, I
would say you have lost some support. This same question has been asked of the other party
leaders as well. Their responses will also be circulated as they respond.

I hope you will give this matter some further consideration.

Have a good day.

I also asked the same original question to Trudeau and Singh , their responses will be added to this
record

It’s should focus more on 50/50 equal parenting and on the marginalization and discrimination
against men

3) Re: Andrew Scheer white wash response basically the Court system works as is by: Hope Stephens
Bottom line is this: if a majority amount of people are coming forward, both men and women, then it
should be clear that the current system is not in anyone’s best interest. Scheer needs to be replaced
by someone who will act in the best interests of the children AND the parents. 50/50 custody

x
Ask this: if there is a non-removal order in family court for a paternity case and the custodial parent
leaves, will there be a pursuit, even internationally? If the answer is no, then obviously it doesn’t

ta
work because that protects an abductor. IF they say yes, direct them to me. That’s what’s happened
in my case, and nothing is being done about it, even with tons of evidence. I’m willing to use my
story as an example. I’m tired of this crap system, and politicians we have. They don’t care, they
yn
don’t look at anything except their pockets. It all needs reform, and we need to act as one large
movement to make it happen

5) Re: Andrew Scheer white wash response basically the Court system works as is by: Rose Burgess
I wonder if Scheer thinks the amount of Fathers who commit suicide because they have exhausted
all these "services" and are still no further ahead in being able to see their children is acceptable.
Tired of our bullshit system and have written the Federal Government in regards to its failure.
Disgraceful is all I can say

6) Re: Andrew Scheer white wash response basically the Court system works as is by: Jip Blonjay
That’s pretty much what I got from my conservative MP. Although it took 3 weeks (and daily requests

x
for an answer after 2 weeks). He got a staffer to respond and they blamed the province (ON) for the
issues with family court. I asked how it’s the provinces fault that they follow federal legislation and

ta
federal support guidelines. I also asked what changes they would make if they formed the next
government.
It’s been 6 months and I’m still awaiting a response to that. The system will not change until those
yn
unaffected by it are as outraged as those of us being affected by it!
