==Availability of third-party payment==
Canada has fourteen single-payer health insurance plans — one for each of the ten provinces and three territories and a 14th plan for government employees. The British Columbia HIP stopped paying for non-therapeutic circumcision in the 1980s. Ontario HIP stopped payment for non-therapeutic circumcision in July 1995; Saskatchewan stopped in 1996. One by one, all other HIPs have stopped paying for non-therapeutic circumcision. Manitoba HIP was the last to stop, but only after the wrong boy was circumcised at [http://www.sbgh.mb.ca/ St. Boniface Hospital].<ref>{{REFnews |title=Circumcision mix-up |url=http://www.cirp.org/news/canadacom11-18-05/ |last= |first= |publisher=Canada.com |accessdate=2019-10-26}}</ref>
Third-party payment for non-therapeutic circumcision is not presently available anywhere in Canada. Parents who wish to have a son circumcised must pay out-of-pocket for the costs of the circumcision.
