^h English (en)	Generally, Canada has a high rate of contraceptive use. It's estimated that over 70% of Canadian women (of reproductive age) use modern contraceptive methods, and about 22% of Canadian men have underwent male sterilization.<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> Yet some women still face difficulty when trying to access birth control. The Society of Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada found that Canadian women have less birth-control options than women in other developed countries.<ref>[http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/canadians-feel-the-cost-of-health-policies-limiting-access-to-birth-control/article23883108/ It's time to give Canadian women more options when it comes to birth control, experts say]</ref> Furthermore, the Canadian Contraception Consensus report found that 15% of sexually-active Canadian women aren't using any form of birth control, and 20% are using birth control inconsistently. The largest barrier is probably cost. Contraceptives aren't free under Canada's universal health care plan, and affordable birth control options are typically found through the public sexual health clinics (which can have limited drug choices, limited opening hours and long wait times). It should be stressed, however, that these clinics do provide affordable options and are an invaluable resource in Canada.<ref>[http://www.metronews.ca/life/health/2016/01/11/canada-birth-control-policy-needs-overhaul.html Canada lags behind other nations in birth control access, and it's costing us]</ref>
^h French (fr)	Globalement, il existe un taux élevé d'utilisation des moyens de contraception au Canada. On estime que plus de 70 % des Canadiennes (en âge de procréer) utilisent des méthodes contraceptives modernes, et près de 22 % des Canadiens ont eu recours à la stérilisation.<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> Pourtant, certaines femmes se heurtent toujours à des difficultés pour accéder à un moyen de contraception. La Société des obstétriciens et des gynécologues du Canada a découvert que les Canadiennes avaient accès à un choix plus limité de moyens de contraception que les femmes d'autres pays développés.<ref>[http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/canadians-feel-the-cost-of-health-policies-limiting-access-to-birth-control/article23883108/ It's time to give Canadian women more options when it comes to birth control, experts say]</ref> De plus, selon un rapport du Consensus canadien sur la contraception, 15 % des Canadiennes sexuellement actives n'utilisent aucune méthode contraceptive, et 20 % utilisent une méthode contraceptive de façon irrégulière. Le coût en est probablement la principale raison. Au Canada, les moyens de contraception ne sont pas remboursés par le régime universel d'assurance-maladie. Pour trouver des méthodes contraceptives abordables, il faut se rendre dans les cliniques de santé sexuelle publiques (qui proposent un choix limité de moyens de contraception, ont des horaires d'ouverture restreints et des files d'attente importantes). Néanmoins, il est important de souligner que ces cliniques, en plus de fournir des moyens de contraception abordables, représentent un point de service utile au Canada.<ref>[http://www.metronews.ca/life/health/2016/01/11/canada-birth-control-policy-needs-overhaul.html Canada lags behind other nations in birth control access, and it's costing us]</ref>
