Fisheries committee I wasn't trying to make you feel guilty or responsible for anything, Al, but I think this is an issue, as I think most members of this committee would agree, for which we need all hands on deck and all organizations working constructively to that end. That was the impetus for my

Fisheries committee Okay. Thank you for that. I'll now move on to Mr. Stanley, if I can. I know you talked about biocides. I know you talked about the things we know about. Mr. Hambrook knows very well about rotenone and how effective that is as a fish-killing agent, as natural as it is. Through an

Fisheries committee It's even better than just rotenone, which kills every fish in the lake.
May 6th, 2019Committee meeting
Blaine CalkinsConservative
Fisheries committee Okay, but it sounds to me like it's not something that you can deploy like rotenone, which you can deploy in an entire lake or an entire aquatic environment. This is a highly localized application. Is there anything else, other than Zequanox, that might be able to do what rotenon

Fisheries committee Thank you, Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. Al, I wanted to check in with you on whether or not RMA, through its process or through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities or any of the organizations you've worked with within these confines, has ever had any resolutions pas

Fisheries committee Fair enough. Who do you think would be liable for the potash costs, or the implementation of a potash program should these mussels get into the irrigation system?

Fisheries committee I'll move on to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. Mr. DeMille, can you give us any indication of what the risks are for natural vectors, such as migratory birds, pelicans or anything like that? Has there been any assessment done of whether or not they, as natural ve

Fisheries committee Okay. Does anybody believe that Transport Canada, as the registrar of boating or watercraft, bears any responsibility in helping assist with the aquatic invasive program? Has anybody given any thought to that? Go ahead, SARM.

Fisheries committee Mr. Chair, I know I'm out of time, but just for the edification of the committee members, not every watercraft in Canada needs to be registered with Transport Canada.
