The department has undergone a number of reorganizations in the last two or three years, so the configuration of the group has changed. So it might be a bit misleading to give specific numbers, but I can tell you that the programs under my responsibility have to do with species at risk, oceans management, and fish habitat management. The number of individuals in those groups is roughly the same as it would have been say three years ago.
