If we had national service dog standards, I would have the same response no matter which airline I phoned. Every single airline I phone has a different response to what is required for me to fly with my service dog. Even though there are things like accessibility laws and disability acts across this country, it is an unregulated, uncontrolled patchwork with no interprovincial reciprocity. That means if your driver's licence in Nova Scotia is good in B.C. and vice versa, it should be the same for service dog standards.
These are imperative to protect the handlers and to protect the public at large. Both sides need to be protected. This is a problem that affects the entire country, not just disabled service dog handlers.
