Credit expert warns New Brunswickers about new law allowing wage garnishment

Law went into effect in December allowing creditors to garnishee wages with court order

A Saint John credit counsellor is warning New Brunswickers about a new law that could allow creditors to garnishee the wages of people who owe them money.

The Enforcement of Money Judgments Act came into effect in December.

The law would, for the first time in New Brunswick, allow creditors to take borrowers to court to have their wages garnisheed.

"For 40 years we've not had a money enforcement act and creditors have threatened, or collection agencies have threatened, 'We're going to garnish your wages', said John Eisner, the president of Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada.

It was nothing more than a threat.

"But now with the new act, if they have a judgment, they can act immediately."

In a statement late last year, Justice Minister Andrea Anderson-Mason called the new law a "complete overhaul."

"In many cases people who have received a judgment in their favour struggle to receive what they are entitled to," said Anderson-Mason.

"This act is being brought into force to address this problem and modernize the law."






John Eisner, the president of Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada, worries the new law will be used by collection agencies as an intimidation tool. (CBC )

Eisner said the new rules would exempt some earnings, such as pensions and RRSP contributions, but he's concerned about how it will be determined what percentage of earnings can be taken.

"The people that are going to be determining [the percentage] are the sheriffs or the bailiffs," said Eisner.

"Certainly that would not be their expertise."

Eisner is also concerned about the potential stigma on employees who have their wages garnisheed, since the employer would have to be made aware of the garnishee order.

And, he worries that creditors will use the new law as an intimidation tactic.
"I think it'll fall into the wrong hands," said Eisner.

"People [will] be threatening and intimidating people saying 'we're going to garnish your wages' when in true reality they may not be able to. They need to have a judgment placed on them in order for that garnishment to work."

Eisner's advice is to deal with any debt issues now, before they have a chance to work their way through the court system.

"It's a new year. Maybe it's time to take a good hard look and say 'let's get someone to properly look at it,'" said Eisner.

A scrap over scrapping: What you need to know about the latest fight over French immersion

Media report, People's Alliance set off firestorm over fate of second-language education program

Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Jan 08, 2020 5:45 PM AT



Education Minister Dominic Cardy told CBC News the province is not considering scrapping French immersion. Instead, he said they're designing alternatives to the existing program (CBC)

Everything Dominic Cardy said this week he has said before.

That the provincial government is concerned about poor achievement rates among French immersion students. That the province will look at other ways to teach French to anglophone students. And that it will pilot some new approaches in a handful of schools this fall.

But the way those comments were interpreted in one media report, and the way People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin saw them as a plan for "scrapping" immersion, set off a storm.

"I've read what both gentlemen have to say, what Mr. Cardy had to say and what Mr. Austin had to say, and they're not congruent," said Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers. "They're two different stories, so I think it's very important for Premier Higgs to tell us who is correct."It's a vivid reminder of the complexity and emotion at the heart of the immersion debate. Here's what you need to know about that debate.

Higgs is fixated on fixing immersion

Whenever he's asked about bilingualism, Premier Blaine Higgs focuses not on how it affects francophones but on how the immersion program must be fixed so that more anglophones can compete for jobs designated as bilingual.

Higgs has a complicated history with language issues.



Premier Blaine Higgs is bent on making changes to the French immersion system. (CBC)

Liberals paint him as hostile to bilingualism because of his involvement three decades ago with the Confederation of Regions party, but the premier said when he first ran as a PC in 2010 that his views had changed. His four daughters were in French immersion.

Higgs is an engineer; his approach in government is to identify problems and fix them. He wants more immersion grads to be fluent in French, and that's the prism through which he sees the issue.

The numbers aren't great, but they may not be that bad, either

The most-frequently quoted figure about immersion is from a report by Auditor-General Kim MacPherson last year, which said only 10 per cent of the students who started immersion in 2005 graduated with advanced French or better. Cardy mentions it often.

But MacPherson's audit pointed out that 75 per cent of the 2005 cohort transferred out of the program before graduating. It's common for many immersion students to drop it when they reach high school, where fewer courses in French are available.

Of those who followed it all the way through Grade 12, 40 per cent had advanced or higher levels of French, MacPherson reported.

"Forty per cent is still nothing to be thrilled about," Cardy said Wednesday, though he added his department is working on offering more elective courses to immersion students to keep them in the program through Grade 12.

New Brunswick Teachers' Association president Rick Cuming said any changes "have to be based on the research we have," and should be gradual, as Cardy has promised.

Cardy's deputy minister knows this issue from the other side

Last year George Daley, then the president of the NBTA, warned against another change to French immersion "because it does create more upheaval in the system," which has seen several major changes already in the last decade.

Daley's now in a position to make that argument directly to Cardy: last fall, after leaving the top NBTA position, Higgs hired him as deputy minister of education for the anglophone school system.


 
Provincial affairs reporter Jacques Poitras explains how everything Dominic Cardy said this week about French immersion he has said before and sheds light on how Kris Austin's comments were interpreted as a plan to "scrap" immersion. 2:00

Cuming said he was glad to see Cardy promise this week that any change will be gradual.

Scrapping immersion is not inevitable, Cardy says

Cardy's own cabinet colleague, Finance Minister Ernie Steeves, suggested last year that it would be unthinkable to get rid of immersion.

"New Brunswick is a bilingual province and we will have a French immersion system," he said after Alliance Leader Kris Austin called for it to be eliminated.

 
Education Minister Dominic Cardy says media reports that suggested French immersion programs were going to be scrapped were misleading. 8:39


Cardy said again this week that he'll stick with immersion if there's no alternative.

"If we can find a program that will give us better results for second-language training in the province, I can't imagine any New Brunswicker would object to that," he said.

"And if we can't and the programs we have are the best we can possibly get, I would have no problem saying we can keep them."

The Liberals tried this before

The Liberal government of Shawn Graham launched an overhaul of French second-language programs in 2008 under then-Education Minister Kelly Lamrock, who is a friend of Cardy and who has advised the PC government.

Lamrock first tried to create a universal French program starting in Grade 5, with students able to choose immersion the following year.

But in the face of protests and a court challenge, the Liberals established a Grade 3 entry point for immersion instead.

The PCs opposed the change at the time and launched a public consultation when they took office in 2010. It recommended a move back to Grade 1, but the Tories didn't implement it.
Meanwhile, the Liberals also reversed their stance under Brian Gallant's leadership, and restored the Grade 1 entry point in 2017.

At the same time, the PCs abandoned their support for Grade 1 and came out against Gallant's changes, arguing that it was happening too fast and there hadn't been enough time to measure if Grade 3 was working.

Streaming is still an issue

The Liberal rationale for overhauling immersion a decade ago focused on what is known as streaming.

The idea is that immersion creates two tracks of students, those with higher aptitudes who enter and remain in immersion, and those with learning challenges who don't enter the program or who leave it early.

It leads to non-immersion classrooms with higher percentages of students with difficulties, which teachers say can make teaching and learning more difficult.

The Liberal reform of a decade ago was meant to give all students an equal shot at acquiring a solid base of literacy skills before they took on a second language.

Cuming says streaming remains a concern that must be addressed — and must be reconciled with immersion.

"Any re-envisaged model has to also address issues of classroom composition and making sure that the equitable supports are there for students and teachers," he said.

Austin adds to the pressure

Also driving the issue is Austin, who calls French immersion "clearly a failed program," citing the same 10 per cent success rate as Cardy.

The People's Alliance leader says his party supports "some level of second-language proficiency" for all students.

Lowering the proficiency requirement for bilingual government jobs at the same time would then allow all graduates to compete for those positions, he said Wednesday.

The PC minority government relies on Austin's three-member caucus for support on confidence votes, and last month Higgs called the Alliance leader "very thoughtful and rational." Austin has repeatedly touted his influence over PC decisions.

But Cardy was irritated this week when Austin appeared to take credit for a "scrapping" of immersion that isn't happening, at least not yet. He called it divisive and unfortunate.

Austin said he was merely reacting to "media sources" reporting that changes were on the way. "My reaction to that was positive."

Cardy said he's committed to "make sure we can build an actual bilingual province by having a world class education system that at the very least teaches us the two languages that are the official languages of our provinces."

It's just a question of how.

For the public record Dominic Cardy has not returned my calls or answered my emails since i ran against his political party in the fall of 2018. With any luck at all he will not be a cabinet minister after another election next fall
















David Raymond Amos 
Methinks Cardy, Austin, Higgy, Vickers and everybody else knows that the docket of Federal Court in Fat Fred City contains the proof that Brad Green the Conservative Attorney General of New Brunswick answered my concerns about public corruption in 2004 after I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament and in 2015 Serge Rouselle the liberal Attorney General answered my lawsuit in Federal Court after I ran in the election of the 42nd Parliament Furthermore nobody can deny that I ran in two more elections since then while everybody laughed at me N'esy Pas?

Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: Nighty Night I hope to be back by closing time tomorrow evening. In the "Mean" Time please give Cardy and your gal pal Lourdes a little hell for me will ya?

Trust that the ghost of that 48th Highlander and his grandchildren will giggle when I say that the dirty deeds are best done at night but you don't have the first clue N'esy Pas?

I know that many haters will try to make this about francophones but it has nothing to do with them whatsoever. It is about options in the anglophone education system.

Fred Dee
There should be ONE education system where Everyone is taught BOTH languages With this, everyone would be EQUAL WRT employment within PNB!!!

This would remove the linguistic foolishness that is going on in our province WTR jobs!! It would take a generation... but then it would be done!! The ned for DUALITY would be gone!! The costs would DROP!!!!!!


Ben Haroldson 


















Matt Steele
Anyone with any knowledge about the N.B. Education system knows that french immersion does not work , and has damaged the N.B. Education system . N.B. rates at almost dead last in Standardized Testing Canada wide ; and now some of the major Canadian Universities are discounting N.B. high school transcripts at around 15% for college admissions because our school academic standards are so low . Welcome to N.B. ; Canada's " ONLY " officially bilingual province , and failed social experiment .....Canada's poorest province

Mac Isaac
As long as there are still people who are vocally anti-bilingualism/anti-French and have a political party that espouses these same feelings New Brunswick will continue being divided. As well, there remains those who see a vast French conspiracy to make this province unilingual French and/or are vehemently against such places, i.e. the province of Quebec; ignoring the fact that all other provinces are officially unilingual English. Honestly, I don't see any solution because those of us who see great value and merit in being bilingual are countered by another group arguing against all things French or remotely bilingual. Even the argument that we can agree to disagree will never earn any support...lines are too strongly drawn. It's really sad...Premiers Robichaud and Hatfield wouldn't be happy to see what has become of their dream of a province which respected both linguistic groups.

I don’t think the Immersion programs are doing enough.

NB needs to do more and do them differently.

Summer camps . Exchange programs. Language cafe’s.

We must interact better.























Errol Willis
I can't believe we are doing this AGAIN!!!

Does any other province put as much time, effort, and money into attaining a second language? We are the poorest province in the country and this is what we choose to spend millions on AGAIN???

This truly is an example of Einstein's definition of insanity
