File No: 03-05-IR02 Attn: Dog Control Officer, Temagami First Nation May 19, 2003 Upon recieving the Note regarding the enforcement of the Dog bylaw, section 3, I am informing you that the dog which belongs to me is the property of the citizen of Republic of Belarus, whom I have the honour to be and therefore is not a subject to local bylaws which apply only to Federal Indian Reserve where I am not a permanent resident either. You may contact Conculate General of Republic of Belarus in Ottawa for further explanations. Temporal residency at Federal Indian Reserve also excludes the enforcement of local bylaws. I must inform you that as a Canadian citizen I am currently seeking for the legal advice regarding to my future actions to protect the members of my family and myself. Sincerely, G/D Dmitri Berry Island, Temagami, ON P0H 1C0
