Mr. Chair, I am really glad that the minister is impressed with my comments. The most recent letter from the Okanagan Basin Water Board on April 8, 2022, expressed concerns. Does the minister agree with the concerns in its letter?

Mr. Chair, the Okanagan Basin Water Board said that deleterious substances are “not an effective tool to address invasive mussels in larger waterbodies which are hydrologically connected to large river systems – like we have in the Okanagan”. Does the minister agree with this statement?

Mr. Chair, in addition, the letter notes that Okanagan lakes are a source of drinking water and past experience with chemical treatments of invasive milfoil in the 1970s has shown that “there is no social licence for this method in our local communities.” Does the minister agree with this statement?
