Mr. Paul Geraghty:

It is important to say that there are some very reputable and professionally run DBEs and we need people to purchase dogs from these reputable institutions, as opposed to other operations that do not have any sort of regulation whatsoever.

I cannot speak to the impact of noise on dogs but my colleague is a vet and he can expand on that. I take the point in regard to the ratio. We are hearing from various stakeholders that they would like consideration of a further reduction in the ratio.
