According to a My Canada newsletter, “Senator Hervieux-Payette has re-introduced her Anti-Spanking bill, S-209, and it has passed first reading in the Senate. S-209 would remove corporal punishment (ie spanking) from what is considered “reasonable force” in correcting a child.” Click here to read the ARPA Canada action item the last time that Senator Hervieux-Payette introduced this. Please take a few minutes to email or call a Senator who represents your area as well as your MP. You can read the actual bill by clicking here.
