The following excerpt is from Gill and Maher, Murray and Popoff v. Ministry of Health, 2001 BCHRT 34 (CanLII):
Vital Statistics further argues that, based on Chartier v. Chartier, 1999 CanLII 707 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 242, there is: …an expectation and general understanding that individuals who fill in the “Registration of Live Birth” form provide information about the birth father (or natural father or biological father of the child). There is an expectation that there is a biological connection between the child and the person whose particulars are listed in the “father” section of the form, namely, that they are the natural father and child.
