The Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) is the medical trade association for Canadian paediatricians. The CPS head office is located at 100-2305 St. Laurent Blvd., Ottawa, ON, Canada K1G 4J8.

The CPS is governed by an elected Board of Directors representing each province and territory.

The CPS publishes Paediatrics & Child Health, Canada's only paediatrics journal.

The CPS publishes policy statements on various matters relating to paediatric health and well-being. It has published three major statements on male circumcision.

Issues with the 2016 circumcision position statement

The 2016 statement exhibits medical trade association bias in favor of increased financial incentive for the fellows of the trade association and clearly was heavily influenced by the now thoroughly discredited and expired (2017) American Academy of Pediatrics 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement. Furthermore, it bizarrely includes a reference to a paper on urinary tract infection by circumcision promoters Brian J. Morris and Thomas E. Wiswell.

The statement touts circumcision to prevent HIV infection, however a massive population study in Canada found that circumcision status has no effect on prevention of HIV infection.[1]

The statement seems designed to promote non-therapeutic unnecessary child circumcision in Canada in violation of the child's Section 7 right to security of the person under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Circumcision assaults the person of the child by excising functional tissue. The CPS has stated that the foreskin is not redundant tissue.[2] The CPS seems unwilling to recognise and protect the legal rights of its child patients. The CPS seems more interested in the best interests of its fellows than in the health and well-being of the male infants of Canada.

The 2026 statment fails to discuss the function of the foreskin, the amputation of which has a disabling effect on various protective and sexual functions.[2]

The 2016 CPS statement of position on circumcision of the newborn was poorly drafted in 2016, has not improved with age, and is now outmoded by advances in medical science and human rights, so it should be withdrawn.
