Thank you for your question.
There is a great variety in dogs and programs right across Canada. Based on our multiple interactions with veterans through our research projects, we've learned that these gaps and inconsistencies in the standards—provincial and territorial—really have an impact on veterans. I agree that it's right and important that we need to acknowledge that each individual dog handler and each dog team is unique. However, as Mr. Lohnes stated, regardless of that, we still need a consistent standard nationally.
I'll stop there.
