Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question from the member.
The numbers we mentioned and how they are equal across all DFO regions has been the case since the funding for the national core program for aquatic invasive species was put in place in 2017. At that time, there was $15.5 million allocated over five years, with $4 million ongoing. That was equally allocated across all of our DFO administrative regions.
I should also add, since your previous question to the minister was also related to British Columbia, that we also work closely with provincial counterparts, for example, on matters related to aquatic invasive species. What you'll see is funding we've used from some of our other programming, like our B.C. salmon restoration and innovation initiative. There's been funding from that program, for example, to fight European green crab, in collaboration with partners.
