The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is seeking feedback on a risk management document (RMD) RMD-22-03 Pest risk management document: risk management proposal for spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula). The RMD provides an assessment of pest risk management options to manage the risk of spotted lanternfly introduction and spread in Canada. Feedback received will inform the CFIA’s regulatory approach for managing the pest risk posed by spotted lanternfly in Canada.
Comments should be sent to [email protected] by February 3, 2023.
Note: This pest is not yet in Canada but has been found close to the Ontario Border in the US. BCLNA will be providing a response.
