I believe the Flowering Rush should be categorized as a Prohibited Species not as a restricted species.

The amount of impact this plant has had in the Minaki area north of the bridge has been extreme. It is everywhere and has spread dramatically. Areas that were accessible before now you could not get a boat through them. It has impacted our cottage property & has made it very difficult to access my boat storage ramp at the end of my bay. One part of my dock area I do not use now because of the plant. It has displaced the water lilies that were in our bay. The speed at which this plant is spreading in the Minaki area will impact our swimming area very soon. This plant will affect all the cabins on the Winnipeg River from Kenora to the White Dog Dam. This will impact tourism greatly.

I urge you to categorize the Flowering Rush as a Prohibited Species.
