Minister, I'd like to inform you that at this point, zebra and quagga mussels are not all over Canada, at least not that we know of, contrary to what you said earlier in the meeting. We need prevention programs in place, which your department has been cutting funding to.
Why do you continue to ignore the threats of aquatic invasive species, especially zebra and quagga mussels, and the risks they pose to fish populations, including wild salmon, and ecosystems in British Columbia and western Canada?
