Changes

The [https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health.html Public Health Agency of Canada] carried out a survey of mothers' birth experiences in 2006-7. Item 38 was male infant non-therapeutic circumcision. (See pages 224-5.)The survey did not provide information for the three territories where the incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision is believed to be extremely low. The Atlantic provinces except for PEI and Quebec had a markedly lower incidence than the other provinces. PEI then had a high rate of circumcision but is now reported to have zero circumcisions.

Among women with a male baby, 31.9% (95% CI: 30.3–33.6) reported circumcising their baby. There was marked regional variation in circumcision. In the 10 jurisdictions in which at least five circumcisions were reported, the proportion of women who reported having their male baby [[circumcised ]] ranged from 44.3% (95% CI: 39.2–49.4) in Alberta and 43.7% (95% CI: 40.6–46.8) in Ontario to 9.7%† (95% CI: 5.2–14.2) in the Northwest Territories and 6.8%† (95% CI: 3.6–10.0) in Nova Scotia.<ref>{{REFdocument

The above referenced survey (2006-7) provides the most recent available statistics on the incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision in Canadabut is now becoming out-of-date.
