Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank the Minister for the good answer he has given. However, I want him to confirm or deny that M/s Dominion Farms Limited, which is undertaking rice farming in the area, has blocked the flow of water from River Yala into a canal that drains into Yala Swamp and Lake Kanyaboli and, therefore, causing the lake to dry up.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to clarify when the Ministry will come up with a wetland policy. For the last two years, the Ministry has been telling this House that they will come up with a wetland policy that will ensure that all the swamps in the entire country are conserved because they are very important in terms of water catchment areas and biodiversity conservation.
