It's a great question. I would agree with the proposition that getting a wetland program unfolding in the prairies would have immense value.
One specific example is the work we did on Lake Winnipeg. There was a significant challenge there in nutrient management for a whole bunch of reasons. Through getting that shoreline working and back to a natural habitat and getting some cattails back, there was a tremendous pullout of phosphorus. I know that's not flood control, but it's an example of a wetland that's helping tremendously to get an ecosystem back into shape.
On how to roll out a wetland program in the prairies, I don't have any insightful advice right now, other than the fact that if you're going to do that, given the nature of the prairies, you are into working the landscape and getting the farmers to till the land to preserve those potholes. They become temporary reservoirs of water that prevent the rush to the river systems, etc. In the context of the beneficial management practices and the agricultural management practices, there have been some gains there in recent years.
I used to work at Agriculture Canada in a previous life and talked to landowners on this. Some of them are very committed to finding ways to put some of the hedgerows back; putting some of the natural features back in the farms they're operating now for profit; and in doing so, providing habitat for waterfowl and better flood control. So there are opportunities there. On how to do it, we need advice.
