Thanks for the comments from the Minister. That is a start; a fairly modest start, I would say, compared to what the public is clearly asking for already. A number of people here would remember the incident with the starvation of horses just outside of Yellowknife. Obviously an Animal Rights Act is needed here. The Dog Act refers to the necessity for proof of intended neglect which, of course, is an oxymoron. Neglect infers that there was no intent to start with. The possibility of enforcement is impossible. Will at least the amendment propose to actually put some teeth in the enforcement aspect of that act? Thank you.
