Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I realize that this is a serious issue, and I look forward to hearing what public health has to say about dog vaccinations. I understand that that would be beneficial. There are lots of dogs in the NWT and lots of dog/fox interactions. Even where I live in Yellowknife, the foxes live in a den on the sliding hill, and myself and my neighbours all have dogs. So it is a serious issue. I mean, fortunately in Yellowknife we have vet clinics and so vaccines are easy enough to get. And I know the SPCA has tried to expand vaccinations out into the communities. But there hasn't been enough money to make this a complete coverage of vaccinations for dogs to ensure that they don't contract rabies. Thank you.
