Fisheries committee Could I add a final word on that? When you ask a question like that, I immediately start thinking of economics, and I think of the World Trade Organization. First, I'd like to mention that ecology in general—and biological invasion, which is somewhat of a sub-discipline of ec

Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee They've developed regulations that are applied internationally in terms of that, because I believe they see the economics. They've seen the numbers. They understand that if they're regulated and if they're going to have to put in new systems for filtering water, etc., that will a
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee If I could add, I think that's the enforcement aspect I was referring to. I think the regulation structure is fine, but I know there has to be a mechanism of enforcement, so I'm not sure. Obviously, diffusing that information to the appropriate.... But you said you applied that y
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee I would just like to add briefly that I think the lamprey example is sort of a false hope, in some sense. I don't want people to always think there will be that kind of solution. It's a wonderful case story, where the biology really mattered and we were able to sleuth it out. O
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee I just want to add something. In my view, the practicality of the process is fine. But what is crucial is to take steps at a political level. No one will do what they are supposed to do if there is no coordination between the federal and provincial governments, including municip

Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee Muy, muy importante.
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee There are two phases of CAISN. We're in our second phase now. If I could speak to the second phase, because I think that better answers your question, the scientists involved in the first phase sat down at one of our annual general meetings and discussed what we thought were defi
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee All of those. In fact, I say I don't work on the Great Lakes, but I have projects in the central region, which includes the Great Lakes. I'm involved in a project with Dr. Ricciardi. I'm involved in a project with a DFO scientist in Burlington. We're taking conceptual.... We've

Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee Almost certainly.
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee I'd like not to answer the first question because I don't work in the Great Lakes, per se. I have not worked with Great Lakes DFO personnel, so it is hard for me to tell. I can say that on the east coast there are individuals who are making exceptional efforts in trying to get t
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee I'd like to take the chance of saying.... And I don't want to put monitoring on to government; I think monitoring has a terrible reputation, unjustly deserved, because without that baseline it's very hard to work. I'm not saying that the university scientists should get to do the
April 25th, 2012Committee meeting
Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee I agree entirely, and I could direct you to some programs that I think are doing very good jobs of that.

Dr. Ladd Johnson
Fisheries committee You're asking specifically about the P.E.I. mussel situation?
