The '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' (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]].
The 2015 statement clearly was heavily influenced by the now thoroughly discredited and expired [[American Academy of Paediatrics 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.
