For just treatment there is no legal minimum age for consent in Ontario.

Not a single lawyer, judge or politician will go against this, because they now that the law is not on their side. I mean, you can challenge it and sue the government, but we know that you won't do it and it's not only because it's not worth your time. It's also because your armchair lawyer interpretation is wrong.
