Our Ontario elk restoration committee's stewardship efforts successfully introduced the once extinct wapiti, otherwise known as elk, across Ontario and especially into this Great Lakes basin area, an effort which the Ontario government historically attempted to do but was unsuccessful in implementing.

The key results are: ensuring that we have the appropriate science information so that we can use it as a basis for management decisions and actions on the ground; identifying the need for more prevalence rate and distribution work in deer, given that this is where the information gap is; and—you talked a little bit about predators this morning—the role predators play, particularly wolves and coyotes (1055) Results of studies to date identify that elk comprise a high percentage of the wolf diet, and wolves play a very important role in limiting the elk population likely deer, but certainly elk.

Then tackle the wildlife with whatever the best tools are, whether that's going after hot spots, increasing surveillance, reducing populations, or stopping elk-to-elk or deer-to-deer transmission.

Chronic wasting disease has been reported in farmed and wild deer and elk in Canada and the United States of America.
