Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think all Members are supportive of this initiative. The dog has been successful in helping us find drugs in residences, helping us find drugs in parcels, I think it's going to help us in our strategy and work with the street team to get drugs off the streets. It can also be used in situations where we're trying to apprehend people. In the case that we're talking about, there was an apprehension underway of some people who were stealing snow machines. Unfortunately, yes, a good Samaritan was injured. We have to review the incident and make sure that all of the proper procedures and protocols were followed. It does cause me some concern. We will be in discussion with the RCMP to make sure that we're doing everything we can to ensure that people are safe as we use this. We do have to ensure that and are following up on this. Thank you.
