Mr. Speaker, it is an isolated incident and I don't want to get into the details of the incident that the Member referred to initially because it's a matter before the courts. But I can tell you that this is the first instance with this dog in the North where a bystander has been injured. We can go through the details, but, of course, I think it's premature at this point. I can assure the Members that I've asked the department to sit down with the RCMP and undertake a full review. I will agree that public support for this initiative is very important. We do have to maintain public support, but I don't want people to think that the dog is a danger. I think there were some circumstances here that lead to this injury happening and we will undertake this review. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
