Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
We've heard this morning that there seems to be a consensus around supporting a proposed prohibition on ownership of animals for individuals convicted of bestiality offences, recognizing that there might be an opportunity to remove the requirement for the destruction of animals seized in fighting investigations.
Professor Sankoff, my question is for you. It goes back to my questions for the minister when he was here last week. It's just for some clarification around the common-law application of the term “baiting”. My interest in that is so as to clarify that the interpretation or application of that pertains only to animal fighting and would not be used to expand to and affect responsible and legal hunting and angling.
