Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It seems to me that in terms of invasive species, the first thing we have to do is make a distinction between which are harmful and which are basically neutral. For those ones that are harmful, I strongly support an approach that directly deals with them.
Of course in terms of Canada being a trading nation, we have to accept that with the many upsides of trade certainly come some costs. Canada's openness to the world puts it at a heightened risk for invasive species, but the benefits of trade are so enormous that trading will continue.
To me, the key is dealing in an effective manner with invasive species that are truly damaging.
Mr. McLean and Mr. Wong, can you give me examples of any invasive species that have been established in Canada and successfully eradicated?
