Mr. Chair, is 2018, the government launched a research and education campaign that provided $100,000 over four years to Simon Fraser University to conduct research and assess the risk of invasive mussels spread in the Okanagan. It has been four years now. What are the key things that have been learned?

Mr. Chair, we do have a process, the CSAS process, which provides the opportunity for peer review of science. I understand what the member is saying when she says that there has been some recent research that has come out since the CSAS report that determined minimal risk. At a certain point, when there is a body of work that has not been reviewed, I will be requesting that another peer review process take place through CSAS so that we can update our analysis of the risk to wild salmon.
