I hope plenty of folks take the time to do the survey. LE always has issues, but most are brought on by things outside their immediate responsibility.

Pre-merger, there were 250+ patrol positions between the old Dept of Game (200 or so) and the Dept of Fisheries (50+). Today, they're patrolling the same amount of land and water with a just over 130 field positions after some RIFs and because of budget cuts. There are, I think, 17 positions in the marine detachment. Responsibilities have expanded greatly over the past 15 years. They're now trying to do resource protection with about half the manpower.
