It's important to acknowledge that as we go forward.
In the province of Manitoba we spent a lot of money. You referred to some dyking and work like that. We've spent millions and billions of dollars on this type of infrastructure, when really, rehabilitating some of our wetlands, which is done at a fairly cost-effective rate, would have probably given us the same effect, or probably a better effect because we're not moving these nutrients but actually leaving the kidneys in place, as you said.
It's something that should be looked at very closely at all levels, to see how we can prevent flooding and how wetlands can play a major role in it going forward, at a much more cost-effective rate than what we're doing now, while having a much better impact on our habitats.
I just want to put this out. In response to Mr. Leef's question, you all spoke to the need to include hunters and trappers in any conversation on wildlife habitat. I think we'd all agree with that very strongly. Could each one of you speak to a project that your organizations have undertaken that are protecting and conserving habitat in your regions or the areas you're involved in? I think it would be good for us to hear of some actual projects that you're doing. Obviously, we can't get into a lot of detail; we have a very short time, but I would appreciate that opportunity.
