I would say that any increased awareness we can have in the population about how actions taken through certain activities can have a negative impact on the spread of pests would be highly supported by the agency. In addition to the regulatory oversight, having Canadians appreciate and understand that simple things, like moving firewood from an area that's infested to an area that's not, are going to spread that pest.... The more word gets out that these simple actions to which people may not give a second thought actually have a very big impact on the spread of these pests, the better.
