Thanks, Chair.
Thanks, Minister, for being here today.
Every few months I go out to plaque 16 and name 20, which is that of Michael Buday, who was killed on March 19, 1985, as he took his dog, Trooper, to detain Michael Eugene Oros, and was shot in the back of the neck. He is unfortunately not with us any more, but he is probably the epitome of a dog handler. They are the first in and the last out.
You mentioned earlier, Minister, law enforcement animals and what they are used for, but I wonder if you could maybe take us down the road a little about the training they undergo and where that takes place, from the perspective of the RCMP anyway, and anything else you might want to add.
