Thanks Kane!
What is the law on physical punishment in Canada? c The law on physical punishment in Canada varies by jurisdiction and statute. Provincial and territorial legislation defines and provides for intervention in situations where a child has suffered harm or is at risk of harm; and it variously limits the use of physical punishment in certain childserving programs which fall under provincial and territorial jurisdiction. Federal legislation defines and establishes penalties for criminal offences for all provinces and territories. Provincial and territorial legislation Child welfare laws in all provinces and territories define child physical abuse similarly. Their definitions are based on actual harm or risk of harm arising from a parent's or caregiver's behaviour toward a child. Child welfare laws in British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario specifically forbid physical punishment by foster parents. Ontario prohibits physical punishment of all children receiving services from a child protection agency or other service provider licensed or approved by the province. Child care legislation prohibits physical punishment in provincially-licensed child care programs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut. Education acts have abolished physical punishment from the schools of British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Where physical punishment is not prohibited by provincial education acts, many school boards expressly forbid it by policy in their schools. Quebec Civil Code no longer defines a "right of correction". Although reference to it was removed from the Civil Code in 1994, there is some uncertainty as to whether this reform means that the right of correction itself was abolished 94. However, a number of rulings have stated that the right of correction is no longer recognized in Quebec's civil law-"The right of discipline granted to parents over their children no longer explicitly admits this right of physical correction, even when moderate and reasonable" 95 cited in 94. Policy in many other child-serving organizations prohibits physical punishment, even where it is not prohibited by law. Federal legislation The use of physical force against another person is an assault under the Criminal Code of Canada. All citizens are legally protected from assault under Canadian law. However, section 43 of the Criminal Code has, for over a century, protected "persons in authority" (parents, teachers, persons standing in the place of parents) from criminal prosecution if their use of physical force against a child is deemed "reasonable" and "by way of correction". Section 43 applies across Canada d. c The information in this section was accurate at publication but is subject to change. d Other defences are provided in the Criminal Code for those who must, in the circumstances, use force in self-defence, defence of others and defence of property. 11(page) |
