Section 43 of the Canadian Criminal Code allows for the use of "reasonable force" in disciplining a child by parents or those standing in the place of a parent, as long as the force does not cause any harm beyond minor physical pain or transient discomfort. However, this provision has been a subject of controversy and calls for its repeal due to concerns of child abuse and the violation of children's rights.
