Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our guests for being here with us today.
If you had to summarize, what would be the top five things the federal government could do to work in conjunction with private industry and NGOs to take a more proactive approach to how we deal with forest pests in rural and urban environments?
We need to take into account that the landscapes are different in both of those areas. I'm not sure whether we need to look at integrated pest management solutions or place a greater focus on biological controls versus traditional pesticide management. I'm interested in your thoughts.
