Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today.

Mr. Zeman, I heard you mention funding capacity and outcomes. DFO funding is three times higher now than it was in 2014, and its staff is 50% higher. Why don't we have conservation outcomes, do you think, when conservation is supposed to trump all in the Fisheries Act?
