Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that Bill 16, An Act to Amend the Dog Act, be read for the third time.
Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The motion is in order. To the motion. Ms. Bisaro.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to speak a bit to this bill. I do feel that the Dog Act as presented is a far improved act from what we had before. There are certainly provisions in there which are going to make things much easier for prosecutions to happen.
I do have a concern, however, with the section that deals with accepted activities and the section which allows for exceptions and exemptions to certain activities. I don’t feel that part of the bill is necessary. I stated that yesterday and I just wanted to restate it.
That said, the bill as a whole is far better than what we currently have and I do support this going forward.
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion.
