Dear [legal name]:

Premier McGuinty has kindly copied me on his response to your letter concerning the need to broaden current legislation so that service dogs who assist the disabled receive the same consideration as dogs that assist the blind. A copy of the Premier's letter is enclosed for your reference.

I am pleased to read that he has forwarded your letter to the attention of the Attorney General. To help ensure your comments reach the Minister and/or his staff, I have written to the Attorney General today to ask for a reply and to express my support for broadening the definition of service dogs in terms of their access to public events and public spaces.

Again, thank you for keeping in touch. Please do not hesitate to contact me whenever I may be of further assistance on this issue or on any other provincial government matter.

Yours truly,

John R. O'Toole, MPP
Durham
