Mr. Speaker, there are probably alot of medical things I do not really understand in operating a hospital. One of them that I do know and has been expressed to me is that there is a lot of back-up that is needed on the subject. I understand they need an operating room or an operating theatre in which the birthing can take place, and in order to facilitate that they need special staff to work there, anesthetists and medical back-up, certain types of nurses and things. So I think the doctor makes that decision whether or not they can deal with a particular type of birth. I think that has to be considered. I do not think I can answer in any other way.
