An Act to amend the Criminal Code (protection of children against standard child-rearing violence) = Loi modifiant le Code criminel (protection des enfants contre la violence éducative ordinaire) / the...: YB421-206/1-PDF
This enactment removes the justification in the Criminal Code available to schoolteachers, parents and persons standing in the place of parents of using force as a means of correction toward a pupil or child under their care. It provides the Government with up to one year between the dates of royal assent and coming into force, which could be used to educate Canadians and to coordinate with the provinces.
