- For the Sake of the Children - Report of the Special Joint Committee on Child Custody and Access
- In 1997, Parliament struck the Special Joint Committee on Child Custody and Access to examine and analyze custody and access issues and to look for better ways to ensure positive outcomes for children whose parents divorce. The Committee provided a forum for Canadians to speak to an issue that affects them personally. The Committee's report was an important step towards addressing the problems children face when their parents divorce. (December 1998)
