“This court has jurisdiction to make therapeutic orders involving children: s. 16(6) DA and A.M. v. C.H., 2019 ONCA 764 at paras 49 to 51. Section 10 of the Health Care Consent Act, which prohibits a health practitioner from administering treatment to a capable person without that person’s consent, does not preclude this Court from ordering an unwilling child from attending therapy if the Court determines it is in the child’s best interests. However, the Court must give greater weight to a child’s wishes as the child matures: A.M. at para 71. In considering whether to make such an order, the Court should assess the child’s maturity.”
