What is the test on a protection application?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Children’s Aid Society of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo v. C.F. and R.A., 2021 ONSC 6158 (CanLII):
The test is not whether the parents have seen the light and intend to change, but whether they have in fact changed and are now able to give the child the care that is in his or her best interests. There is not to be experimentation with a child’s life with the result that, in giving the parents another chance, the child would have one less chance. There must be some demonstrated basis for a determination that the parents are able to parent without endangering the child’s safety: See Children’s Aid Society of Toronto v. C.G., at para. 103. B.
