The 2015 statement clearly was heavily influenced by the now thoroughly discredited and expired (2017) [[American Academy of 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 touts circumcision to prevent HIV infection, however a massive population study in Canada found that circumcision status has no effect on prevention of HIV infection.<ref name="mayan2021">{{REFjournal |last=Mayan |first=Madhur |init= |author-link= |last2=Hamilton |first2=Robert J. |init2= |author2-link= |last3=Juurlink |first3=David N. |init3= |author3-link= |last4=Austin |first4=Peter C. |init4= |author4-link= |last5=Jarvi |first5=Keith A. |init5= |author5-link= |etal=no |title=Circumcision and Risk of HIV Among Males From Ontario, Canada |journal=J Urol |location= |date=2023-06-08 |volume= |issue= |article= |page= |pages= |url=https://www.auajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1097/JU.0000000000002234 |quote=We found that circumcision was not independently associated with the risk of acquiring [[HIV]] among men from Ontario, Canada. |pubmedID=34551593 |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1097/JU.0000000000002234 |accessdate=2021-10-02}}</ref> The statement seems to be designed to promote non-therapeutic unnecessary child circumcision in [[Canada ]] in violation of the child's Section Seven rights under the Constitution Charter of CanadaRights and Freedoms.
