92. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of dogs entering this country has been found to be suffering from rabies before the expiry of their period in quarantine.

Mr. John Mackie

Since December 1918, when the six-month period for quarantine was reintroduced, 25 dogs have become rabid while in quarantine. This represents 0.04 per cent. of the 65,100 dogs imported during the period.
