NICOLA GRIGG: Much has been made of the benefits and merits of this bill, so we on this side of the House are going to keep it short and succinct this evening. The purpose of this bill is that it will ensure that all people who need assistance from a dog are protected from discrimination on the basis of having a disability. I think it's probably fair to say that people who live with a disability, no matter what kind, probably find life difficult enough as it is. The last thing they need is further discrimination thrown at them.
