Public Consultation Period – A new directive to mitigate the introduction and spread of spotted lanternfly open for comments
October 25
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched a public consultation to seek comments on the program directive D-24-01: Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) – domestic and import phytosanitary requirements.
This new directive describes the phytosanitary import requirements for nursery stock and logs of deciduous species with bark from regulated areas of the continental United States (U.S.) to prevent the introduction of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) into Canada. It also outlines the domestic requirements for these same articles moving from regulated to non-regulated areas in Canada to prevent the spread of this pest to non-infested areas.
