Canada Report 2007 -2008 Today’s presentation includes: • Overview of CFIA organizational realignment • New strategic initiatives in Canada • Pest Situation Report 2
CFIA Organizational Realignment Gerry Ritz - Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board. Carole Swan - President of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Sandra Wing - Vice President of new Policy and Programs Branch of the CFIA • Agency realignment included the creation of the Policy and Programs Branch in January 2008 • In June 2008, the Plant Products Directorate was re -organized under the new title of Plant Health and Biosecurity Directorate 3
Plant Health and Biosecurity Directorate Divisions Plant Program Integration Field Crops Horticulture Forestry Crop Inputs Plant Program Delivery & Destination Inspection Service 4
Plant Health Modernization Invasive Species • Increasing threat frequency, diversity, impacts • National Strategy Prevention, Early Detection, Rapid Response, Effective Management Plant Health Control and Tracking System (PHCTS) • AIRS Enhancement – Update Import Information • Import Inspection Portal & New Inspection Manual • Export Certification Lab Component (LSTS) 5
PHCTS Concept - Umbrella Web Portal Pre-shipment - Permits - Certificates Request for Release Imports CBSA - EDI Inspection Types Surveillance Export Outbreak Audit Test Certification Pre-clearance Domestic Permits Science &, Programs Policy & Procedures Activity Ledger & Reporting Inspection Triage Inspection Portal Labs (LSTS) 6
Invasive Alien Species Strengthening the established plant health program • Enhanced import inspections • Improved information management • Enhanced surveillance capacity Early detection of forest pests with CFS 3 rd party pest specific surveys Weed surveys introduced for first time (e. g. , jointed goat grass, woolly cupgrass) • • Expanded pest risk assessment capacity in entomology & botany Increased lab capabilities & capacity in nematology & entomology Expanding traditional role of Seed Lab to address IAS pressures Inspection tools – e. g. , Import Inspection Manual, Phytosanitary Treatments Manual/Database • Training tools – e. g. , PRA training for IPPC, inspector training 7
New Invasive Plants Program • Development of the Canadian Invasive Plant Framework for the engagement and cooperation of provinces, territories, nongovernment organizations, and industry groups concerned about the impacts of invasive plants; • Invasive Plant Policy development and implementation; • Examination of regulatory and non-regulatory approaches to mitigating risks associated with invasive plants; • Development of specific tools for pest risk assessment of plants as pests; • Early detection-rapid response planning; • Surveys for invasive plants; • Surveys of imported seeds, grains, birdseed and wildflower mixes. 8
Urgent responses to introduced invasive spp. Ø Asian Long-horned Beetle – ALHB (Toronto-Vaughan, ON) Ø Emerald Ash Borer – EAB (Southern Ontario, Quebec) Ø Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle – BSLB (Central Nova Scotia) Ø European Woodwasp – Sirex (Southern Ontario & Quebec) Ø Phytophthora ramorum – PR (British Columbia - nurseries) Ø Plum Pox Virus – PPV (Southern Ontario) Ø Potato Cyst Nematode – PCN (Quebec and Alberta) 9
Asian Long-horned Beetle Eradication: 2004 -2008 Detected in Toronto – Vaughan Sept. 2003 Risk mitigation strategy: • Establishment of MO • Tree removal 2004: 15, 000 trees 2005: 10, 000 trees 2006: 0 trees (no finds) 2007: 1, 400 trees 2008: 200 trees All Finds have been within the Regulated Area Next Steps: • Continue surveys • Tree removal (around infestation) • Continue to work with partners toward eradication • Continue scientific evaluation/research 10
Emerald Ash Borer Management Update Ø Detected 2003 -2007 regulated with Ministerial Orders • Counties of Essex, Chatham-Kent, Elgin, Norfolk, Middlesex and parts of Lambton Ø Detected 2008 and regulated with Prohibition of Movement • Cities of Toronto, Vaughn, Ottawa; Norfolk, Peel, Halton counties; City of Carignan, near Montréal, QC • Recently detected in Sault Ste. Marie Ø Risk Mitigation • Slow the Spread Strategy • Regulatory Control, Enforcement, Communication, Public Outreach Ø Next Steps: • Continue surveys • Limited tree removal (for research only) • Pursue long-term management plan with focus on research; Early detection, traps, biological/chemical control 11
Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle (BSLB) Nova Scotia Confirmed in Point Pleasant Park, Nova Scotia, 1999 Only known infestation in North America Risk mitigation strategy 1999 -2005 Eradication program • Spruce Tree Removal • MO Containment Area established 2006 -date Slow the Spread / Containment • Tree removal not an effective treatment Focus on Research • CFS Three-Year Research plan • Risk mitigation, risk analysis, natural dispersal, Cargo Port natural control and pheromone-based management methods 2007 & 2008 New finds identified outside the Containment Area in central NS under regulatory controls. Point Pleasant Park 12
European Woodwasp – Sirex noctilio Current known range Southern Ontario and 1 new location in Quebec near Quebec-Ontario border Risk Mitigation Strategy Slow the Spread – Draft Policy in final consultation stages Research – biocontrol nematode has been found; effectiveness currently being studied 13
Phytopthora ramorum - Status 2008 • 10, 300 samples have been collected in National Survey and follow-up investigations • All new detections on nursery plants in BC - Lower Mainland/Victoria: - 4 propagation nurseries and 1 retail/garden centre Strategy changes in 2008 • Reflect 2008 update to PRA - lower risk to Canadian environment • 5 high risk genera, other hosts regulated at species level • Differential eradication measures • Harmonized with the USDA 14
Plum Pox Virus (PPV) • Fifth year of an $85 million, 7 -year eradication plan. • International Expert Panel continues to meet annually to analyse the progress toward eradication • Grower poll shows 78% support for eradication from tender fruit growers. • A little over 5 million samples have been collected since PPV was first found in 2000. Over 300, 000 trees have been removed. • In 2008, virus detection levels dropped by half, despite a 35% increase in number of samples collected compared to 2007 and despite good weather for detection of the virus (cool and wet). 15
Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN) • Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN) continues to be a top priority within CFIA. • Immediate regulatory measures were implemented following Golden Nematode detection in Alberta in October 2007. • ~ 40, 000 soil samples should be collected and tested this year. • no additional PCN detected to date. 16
