Re: Placing Flowering Rush on the Restricted Species List

I am a property owner on the Winnipeg River between Kenora and the Whitedog Dam in Ontario Province. I am surprised that this proposal has been placed forward rather than placing Flowering Rush on the Prohibited Species List!

Flowering Rush has rapidly expanded its infestation over the last 15 years on the Winnipeg River. Shorelines have become clogged with this weed reducing habitat for native fish and native aquatic plants. Many beautiful beaches are now not accessible because of the thickness of the Flowering Rush population.

Please reconsider your classification of Flowering Rush as Retricted Species. Instead, place it on your Prohibited Species List.
