Yes. That was one of the reasons I asked that question. I sensed that at the very beginning, and I know first-hand.
I want to share another example with my colleagues here. A friend of mine by the name of Jason Burd is an Ottawa firefighter. Jason is about six feet, eight inches. He's a giant of a man. When I first met him, I was speaking at a first responder conference with respect to post-traumatic stress disorder and my Bill C-211. Jason was a shell of a man. He could hardly stand up without shaking. PTSD had absolutely racked both his emotional and physical well-being. Sixteen months later, he was given a service dog by the name of Blaze. Jason was able to come out of his house without being impacted by all that was going on. Blaze absolutely transformed his life.
Mr. Cousineau, we talk about it so much, about trust and the emotional support that these dogs provide. I'm wondering if you can touch on that a little bit more, about how Thai has transformed your life.
