Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question, as I indicated earlier, will be for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. It is about midwifery legislation.

Mr. Speaker, as I understand the primary health care model, it is a team approach to front-line service provision. It allows for nurses and other professionals to be the first point of contact. For instance, if I have a cold, Mr. Speaker, I am not initially going to see a doctor if I may not need to. If it gets to that, I can be referred later.

It seems to me that this would be a good fit for midwifery. I am wondering what the department thinks of that. Could the Minister indicate whether or not she feels the primary health care model is indeed a good fit for midwifery? Thank you.
