Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses today. It has been very revealing.
I want to start with a little comment to Mr. Innes. As Mr. Pilon discussed, I'm also a big fan of wetlands and the need for wetland rehabilitation. I'm sure you must be very happy with—I'd assume you are aware of—the work that some of the oil sands developers are doing with Olds College in looking at wetlands rehabilitation, at how to rehabilitate it properly, and at the role they all play. I thought it was really interesting that you brought that up. When this committee visited Olds College, I was very excited to see the work going on, and that they are also working very closely in conjunction with industry to make sure that we're doing the right things for wetlands rehabilitation, because it has to be done.
I just want to turn to Mr. Bonnett quickly. You talked about using agricultural lands, as they are a habitat area to a large degree. I witness that every day where I live. My property has bush on it, but across the road is a farmer's field, and I see constantly that it's being used by the deer, the geese, the ducks, and even the coyotes and foxes are using it as natural hunting areas. They're using the bush to live in, but they're actually using this as their feeding area.
When you see this happen on farms, is this something that farmers are actually encouraging? Is this something where they are doing things to help, or are they trying to set back some of these things going forward?
