The court ordered a children's aid society to pay for DNA testing to determine parentage.
In a child protection proceeding, the respondent father brought a motion seeking DNA testing to determine biological parentage and requesting that the child protection society pay for the testing costs.
The court determined it had jurisdiction to order DNA testing under section 10 of the Children's Law Reform Act, despite the proceeding being under the Child and Family Services Act.
The court found that DNA testing was in the best interests of the child and ordered the society to arrange and pay for the testing.
