Brown & Brown (1987) and Rediger & Muller (2013), working in Saskatoon, found "newborn male circumcision rates continue to be heavily influenced by the circumcision status of the child's father."<ref name="brown-brown1987">{{REFjournal |last=Brown |first=Mark S. |author-link= |last2=Brown |first2=Cheryl A. |author2-link= |etal=no |title=Circumcision Decision: Prominence of Social Concerns |trans-title= |language= |journal=Pediatrics |location= |date=1987-08 |volume=80 |issue=2 |pages=215-219 |url=https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/80/2/215? |quote= |pubmedID=3615091 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=2019-11-10}}</ref> <ref name="rediger-muller2013"/>

The prevalence of circumcision is high among older males, but low among younger males. As older mostly circumcised males die and are replaced by younger, mostly intact males, the prevalence of circumcision in Canada is gradually declining. Intact males usually do not want any son to be circumcised,<ref name="brown-brown1987" /> <ref name="rediger-muller2013" /> so the demand for circumcision in Canada is declining.
