Fisheries committee  If they're in the lake, they could go to the tributaries.

Fisheries committee  For a good 10-year period up to 2014, I believe, we had two research networks in place, co-funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. We still benefit from that program, a few years after the end of it. It created a network across the country that continues

Fisheries committee  We have our core program, which started to be funded in 2004. We received some new influxes of money through budget 2016 and science in general. We have different funding mechanisms. We have our dedicated funds for aquatic invasive species, but we also have our broader research f

Fisheries committee  Yes. Actually, if you ask other scientists if they need more money, they will always take it.

Fisheries committee  We have very competent personnel. As I said, some are in these aquatic invasive species programs, and some are in other areas of the DFO science program that will actually inform and give us a better understanding of the environments in which these species are. All of this resear

Fisheries committee  Yes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. It's actually the role of science to screen potential invasive species in terms of their risk to arrive and then to establish and become invasive in Canada. We've performed that work for hundreds of species, and we also do it for specific species that are known to be

Fisheries committee  Rotenone is a very nasty product.

Fisheries committee  It will kill everything that breeds, and not just fish. It will kill invertebrates. It will kill amphibians.

Fisheries committee  It does. It's actually in the literature. The main factor to consider for any invasive species action is to look at three things: the risk that the species will arrive, the risk that the species will establish itself and then become invasive. One important factor for Lake Miram
