In Canada, are there any legal requirements that a company must check references of a contractor?

I have been told by the ‘hr administrator’ that our small business must check references of everyone we pay money to provide a service. For example, we recently hired a freelance software programmer who works from home and invoices us as work is completed. What level of background check is required? I have not been able to find anything that says it is a ‘must do’.
