I believe the federal government should play a leadership role, not just in wetlands, but in areas of environment, when it comes to environmental conservation and development. In this particular case, definitely, yes, I would suggest that similar research facilities be developed in different ecoclimate zones of this country, in different parts of this country, so that we create a network of this type of research facility across the country. Yes, the federal government should take the lead in that.
