(Translation). Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise today to present to you my Member's statement. I, myself, have come into this world through midwifery practices. I'm probably not the only person who has come into this world like this. I was requested by the Baffin Regional Health Board to bring this to your attention. Midwifery has been a practice of the Inuit communities for a long time. I think it's a known fact that midwifery can be successful in some communities. I think in the other communities in the Keewatin region, midwifery has been practised and also it has been practised in the Northern Quebec communities.
I think we have to plan to have midwifery in other parts of the north such the Baffin Region. Madam Speaker, I think we have to plan ahead for midwifery to take place in other parts of the northern communities. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
