What is the test for a relationship between a parent and child?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. J.G., 2019 ONCJ 333 (CanLII):
[59] However, the A.G. case referred to in paragraph 58 was successfully appealed and the appeal court determined that it was improper to import considerations of openness into the beneficial and meaningful test. The court stated that courts must consider whether the relationship is beneficial and meaningful to the child at the time of the hearing. See: Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. A.G., 2015 ONSC 6638.
