==Canadian circumcision deaths==
At the beginning of the 21st Century, only the Manitoba Health Plan still paid for non-therapeutic circumcision, however that was ended in 2006.
The Public Health Agency of Canada carried out a survey of mother' birth experiences in 2006-7. Item 38 was male infant non-therapeutic circumcision.
<blockquote>
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 fi ve 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.
