I will move on to my next question.

Aquatic invasive species are very important to me and my riding in the interior of British Columbia. In 2019, the Prime Minister issued the fisheries minister a mandate to make new investments to fight invasive species. Apart from adding a single full-time FTE at DFO Pacific, your previous Minister Jordan failed to deliver on her mandate.

When will you, as fisheries minister, stand up for British Columbians and other provinces and finally deliver new investments to fight against aquatic invasive species in B.C.?
