Ontario is getting tough on invasive species.Natural Minister David Orazietti says if passed, Ontario would become the first in Canada to have its own legislation to better deal with things such as zebra mussels, Asian carp and mountain pine beetles.
He suggests the will make it easier for Ontario to prevent, detect and rapidly respond to invasive species.
Orazietti says the province currently relies on a patchwork of federal and provincial laws that don't have enough teeth.
