NFACC menyatakan persyaratan Code tidak secara tegas mengikat di sebagian besar provinsi tetapi dapat menjadi bukti penderitaan. Dirujuk dalam hukum provinsi: diadopsi di NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 menjadikan praktik yang dilarang oleh suatu kode sebagai praktik terlarang), ditetapkan di SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), disebut sebagai pembelaan di NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) dan BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, sebagai praktik yang diterima secara umum), diterima di NS (Act s.28(b)). Kebutuhannya harus dievaluasi; hanya bila dinilai perlu.
