I move amendment No. 9:

In page 12, subsection (8), between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:

"or any other matter that significantly affects the welfare of the dogs.".

In section 11(8) we are dealing with the possible contraventions that could lead to a removal of registration. Would it be sensible to add the amendment as a new subsection that it would include "any other matter that significantly affects the welfare of the dogs"? It is clearly meant to be a catch-all measure and given the overall objectives of the legislation perhaps that is something that should be considered.
