520 _aIn the 1990s, child support was added to Quebec’s political agenda through a system of automatic perception, fixation, and tax-exemption. Having studied parliamentary debates and some thirty interviews done with the political, administrative, associative, and professional participants in these reforms, we show how they perceived the rights of this system’s recipients. We reveal that although these actors first sought to help poor single mothers, their interest shifted toward the children’s and fathers’ rights. Moreover, despite the social justice rhetoric of the government, these reforms offered an opportunity to reduce public spending.
