JAMIE STRANGE (Labour—Hamilton East): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute in this debate about the incredible animal called the dog, domesticated from wolves an estimated 15,000 years ago. Look, it really is quite significant, the role that dogs do play in our lives, and so I think that it's certainly important that we take the time on a Wednesday afternoon to talk through that, particularly in reference to this member's bill, the Human Rights (Disability Assist Dogs Non-Discrimination) Amendment Bill.
