Thank you to our guests today. It has been very enlightening.
Mr. Brennan, I have had the opportunity to visit Oak Hammock Marsh in Stonewall, several times in my life, and a couple of times in the last number of years. It is one of your facilities.
You talked about the effects of water in the Prairies and some of the diking systems. One of the things that really struck me when I was at your facility in Oak Hammock Marsh was an overhead I was shown of wetlands from the sixties and seventies compared to today. One of the things that we're looking at in Manitoba—you talked about some of the flooding aspects there—was really brought home to me. Wetland loss has probably played the most significant role in some of the floods that we've had, which you talked about, the one in 300-year floods.
Could you perhaps talk about that a little bit? I think it's important that we understand there are other contributing factors. I would say that the wetland loss is a much bigger contributor to those issues and concerns in the Prairies than anything else at this point in time.
