Senator Stan Kutcher’s Bill S-251 to repeal s.43 of the Criminal Code which allows for corporal punishment of children is moving through the Senate and is currently being studied by the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.
Please consider drafting and submitting evidence or research or support for the commitee to consider. Submissions can provide evidence, suggest amendments to the Bill, or simply express support for the Bill. The only submission made to the study so far, from the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is an excellent example of what can be submitted.
