That's an excellent question. Wetlands are classified between, basically, permanent and ephemeral wetlands. Ephemeral wetlands come and go, depending on the rainfall. Permanent wetlands are, as they say, permanent. There's lots of work where wetlands have been inventoried.
Again, I make the point, Mr. Kram, that other countries are way ahead of us in this regard. The U.S., for example, has the “Swampbuster” program. We do not need to reinvent the wheel if we are to have a program such as this. A program such as this would be the single most effective environmental conservation program that Canada has ever seen.
