While my wife and I applaud…

While my wife and I applaud your proposed regulation adding to the list of restricted and prohibited species in Ontario, we respectfully request one change. We strongly encourage you to place flowering-rush in the prohibited species category.
We first learned of flowering-rush about 10 or 12 yeas ago. Since that time is has invaded our area on the Winnipeg River near Minaki. While our own cabin remains clear, some of our friends cannot even use their dock or boats. We are on an island and would have to abandon our place if boat access is lost. Most of the cabins in our area do not have road access and would be in the same position. All of us in Ontario need to do everything we can to try to stop or at least slow the spread of this dangerous species. Placing flowering-rush in the prohibited category in your proposed regulation would be one step towards this goal.
