Madam Speaker, the issue of birthing centres is actively being looked at as an option to provide services closer to home. The Rankin Inlet project was the pilot project and we are doing an evaluation of it right at the moment. I believe, through re-looking at health care delivery, that we should support the use of elders and people who have traditional knowledge about birthing. This is one of the elements of providing health care closer to home, that is supported by the department. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
