As stated by L’Heureux-Dube, J., in Young v. Young (1980), 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), 84 B.C.L.R. (2d) 1 (S.C.C.) at paragraph 125, the objective in s.16(10) that a child have as much contact as possible with each parent is not an unbridled objective; it must be curtailed whenever the best interests of the child require it.
