Thank you very much.
The federal role is focused on prevention, as far as international and interprovincial trade and transport. The key statutes are managed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, with the exception of the Canada Shipping Act, which is Transport Canada. The work we do responds to international commitments and organizations that I mention on this slide.
At the bottom of the slide I identify the most involved federal agencies with respect to invasive alien species. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency works with Natural Resources Canada and Agriculture and Agri-food Canada on invasive alien plants and plant pests. Environment Canada deals with the strategy on terrestrial animals and the funding program. Fisheries and Oceans Canada deals with aquatic invasive species.
