Under the legislation, there is a two part-test that the society must meet on a temporary care hearing: (a) At a temporary care and custody hearing, the onus is on the society to establish, on credible and trustworthy evidence, that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there is a real possibility that if a child is returned to the respondents, it is more probable than not that he or she will suffer harm.
