Of the 4,300 net new jobs in DFO in three years, 1,000 have been in administration, such as finance and HR. That's almost 1,000 on the ocean side of the department, but only 10% of the new jobs were in the actual fisheries management side. I guess this explains why only 21% of stocks in critical classifications have a rebuilding plan, according to the oceans audit in 2021.

Minister, what do you think?
