Thank you again, Mr. Chair, and thanks to our witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Cousineau, I'd like to go back to the service dogs. Earlier in your presentation, you talked about the arbitrariness of the decision by Veterans Affairs. In certain other government agencies, they will recognize certain standards or have none at all. It's just a question of whether you have a dog and whether it is used for a medical purpose or therapeutic purpose.
I do know that there is a big issue because I've contacted two different ministers here in Ottawa who have the responsibility for it. Both of them have said that most provinces and territories have completely different standards that do not align. They use different language and whatnot. Is this part of the reason for the complex nature of the problem we face, where no one has a very good definition and so VAC is just being arbitrary? Could you explain a little more for me, please?
