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 (DYP) asks the Court to appoint a tutor to the child, namely one of her foster parents, Mr C. [ 2 ] The mother does not attend the hearing therefore the Court is not aware of her position. The father agrees with the application, and so does the child. [ 3 ] The DYP has been involved in the child’s life for many years, because of the parents’ personal issues.

In 2014, the child is entrusted to her current foster family. [ 4 ] On October 3, 2017, the Court orders that the child remain entrusted to the foster family of Mr Clement and his spouse until she reaches her age of majority. [ 5 ] The parents are not involved in the child’s life. [ 6 ] Mr C and his spouse take good care of the child. The latter has developed a close bond with them. [ 7 ] Mr C understands what tutorship means and he is willing to take upon that responsibility.

He can manage contact with the parents if need be. [ 8 ] Entrusted to her tutor, the child will not be in need of protection anymore. [ 9 ] The evidence convinces the Court that the application is well founded. FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 10 ] GRANTS the application; [ 11 ] APPOINTS Mr C as a tutor for the child X; [ 12 ] ENTRUSTS the child to her tutor; [ 13 ] ORDERS that the parties concerned by this judgment comply with it;

[ 14 ] THE WHOLE without costs. __________________________________ JANICK POIRIER, J.C.Q.
