Invasive plants are available across Canada. Is federal regulation possible?

Cities across Canada are pushing for local regulations to limit the sale of invasive plants by garden centers and nurseries, sparking a debate over whether federal oversight is needed. Advocates argue that a national horticulture body and an invasive plant database could help address the growing biodiversity crisis. These invasive species threaten local ecosystems and native plant populations, highlighting the urgency for coordinated action to protect Canada's natural environment.
