Supreme Court to hear anti spanking arguments
The Supreme Court of Canada will hear a constitutional challenge to Section 43 of the Criminal Code which allows “reasonable” physical force by parents and teachers to discipline children.

The case marks the court’s first ruling on the law’s constitutionality in decades.
