Mr. Chair, on the member's question, you ask a very big, loaded question for us. Obviously we are trained on the causal review of cases to really get to a result of what the circumstances were.
To your point, this would represent a very fundamental shift for the agency, its role and its mandate. If this bill were passed, we would be asked to become peace officers with all of the details, training, authorities, policies and procedures that would be needed to actually act as police officers on the detainment of the scene and to conduct the investigative process.
Certainly it adds tremendous complexity. It would fundamentally shift the role of the agency on the health and well-being of animals and its overall disease management that we do within the agency.
