I implore the Province to categorize Flowering Rush as "Prohibited". There is heavy infestation along shorelines, shallow channels, and bays in the Winnipeg River from Kenora to the White Dog damn.The plant has spread rapidly in the last five years affecting swimming areas, boat launches, spawning habitats, etc. This infestation will ultimately affect the fisheries which support the economic base for the area for tourism.Eradication of wild rice stands will seriously affect the cultural and economic well being of indigenous people in the area.
