I disapprove of categorizing flowering rush as "Restricted". It should be categorized at "Prohibited". There is heavy infestation along shorelines, shallow channels, and bays in the Winnipeg River from Kenora to the White Dog Dam. Flowering rush impacting my property, dock, and swimming areas and it has spread incredibly quickly in the past 20 years. There is ecological devastation taking place because of its growth — loss of fish spawning grounds, displacement of native aquatic plants, and the clogging of the many natural beaches. It is also leading to the eradication of native wild rice stands, which is of cultural and economic importance to indigenous people in the region.
