What is the test for making provision for child support under section 101 of the Ontario Child Support Act?

The grandparent in court is able to make provision for the support of the child. Provision, if it is chargeable to the grandparent, should be on the basis of means. (Dooley v. Dooley, 174 Misc. 10.) There has been some confusion on the basis of an order made against grandparents. Some courts have held that such order is to be made on the basis that will hold the community harmless; in other words, on a public charge basis, on need rather than means. Subdivision 3 of section 101 in part reads, "said grandparents are hereby declared to be chargeable with the support of such grandchild and may be required to pay a fair and reasonable sum according to their means, as may be determined by the court."
