Hon MARK MITCHELL (National—Whangaparāoa): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to take a call on this bill or not, because whenever I speak about my police dogs, I tend to get emotional. But I felt that it was appropriate to support my colleague Matthew Doocey and thank him for bringing this bill to the House. Reflecting back and responding to what was a very strong feeling and message being sent to him by his own community in relation to police dogs and them being killed on duty, I thought the best way for me to do this was just to share some personal insights and tell a story to the House about exactly what police dogs are all about. I wanted to respond, in particular, to the comments made by the Green Party member Ricardo Menéndez March, calling them attack dogs.
