Thank you, Madam Chair. I will be sharing my time with my colleague, Mr. Fanjoy.
My question is directed to Mr. Campbell, I guess, but possibly more directly to Mr. Millar, owing to his purview.
I understand that Parks Canada has committed multiple years of support to studying the feasibility of eradicating such invasive species as water soldier, in particular from part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, which is under active management. For a little clarity, this is in my riding of the Bay of Quinte. It's commendable work, of course, but my one concern is that this work seems to be tightly restricted in areas explicitly within the parameters of the Trent-Severn itself. As some here know, such prolific invasive species as water soldier don't respect jurisdictional lines on a map.
How is Parks Canada as an agency protecting its important investment in dealing with invasives like water soldier, where both federal and provincial authorities must be part of the solution? Are Parks Canada, the Trent-Severn Waterway and other agencies or departments ensuring that collaborative solutions are being supported to drive results on the water in such cases as this? The water soldier issue emanating from the Trent-Severn could eventually wind up at Thousand Islands, for instance, if it gets out of the bay. It's a big issue.
