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


The 2015 statement clearly was heavily influenced by the now thoroughly discredited and expired [[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 seems to be designed to promote non-therapeutic unnecessary child circumcision in Canada in violation of the child's rights under the Constitution of Canada.
