This motion, in calling for a presumption of equal parenting in the Divorce Act, would create a new policy but would be in keeping with current party messaging on reforming the Divorce Act. Also, the phrase regarding inclusion in the platform is superfluous because the platform is written at the discretion of the leader, cabinet, and campaign committee.
