Any person who contravenes this provision commits an offence and is liable to a fine (sections 9.2, 9.3 and 135 Y.P.A.). [ 1 ] The Director of Youth Protection has applied for the extension of a decision under s. 38 of the Youth Protection Act [1] rendered on November 24, 2021, by the Honourable Dominique Wilhelmy, J.C.Q.

At the time, X’s security and development were in danger and she was entrusted to Ms. C, the maternal grandmother. [ 2 ] At the hearing, the child was not present, but she was represented by counsel. The parents were not present, but they were represented by counsel. Facts since the last Court hearing: [ 3 ] The situation of the child has remained stable.

He has been collaborative and involved in contact with his child. [ 5 ] The parties recognize that X’s security and development are still in danger and that the measures need to be extended. The measures proposed by the Director of Youth Protection are not contested by the parents or the child’s counsel.
