Threat of Bark Beetles to Plantations: Discussion
Mr. Barry Delany:
As I concede, I am offering the plant health network and the forest health network so that we can deal with all the stakeholders, with this issue along with other issues that arise. The plant health issue is broader than just these logs; it is also other trade coming from Europe and beyond with regard to issues we have with Phytophthoras as well. To have that grouping to deal with all these matters is important. We want that so we can clearly communicate to people what is there and they can articulate to us the issues they have, and we can take those issues into account as soon as possible.
