I'm very concerned, and I've raised this issue with the department. Our numbers indicate that we are now down to the same levels as a number of years ago, when the department had major initiatives about recruitment and retention and was very concerned about inspector shortages. I raised the concern, saying that I'm concerned because our numbers are back in that range again, and there is no discussion about shortages.
