While working up in the Toronto area, I was driving down a local road last week and saw signs deliniating an Asian Long Horned Beetle Quarantine Zone. I wasnt aware that the critters were in Canada. Sounds like the same sort of quarantine as the one in Mass. The area looked to be mostly sprawl from Toronto, a mix of light industrial and huge tract developments. I saw some info and the response is about the same as the US, if an infested tree is found on private or public property, cut first and then check every tree within 800 meters with a fine toothed comb.
