Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we do have a very busy legislative agenda for the Department of Health and Social Services, and even if we could, as the Member refers to it, "boilerplate the legislation", it still requires a fair amount of human resources and financial resources in the drafting and preparation of any legislation.
Certainly in the meantime, the GNWT Certified Midwife Policy provides an adequate framework within which boards could offer birthing services using midwives. If there is an interest in the communities or in the regions for this, we would encourage them to proceed under the policy and we will commit to the legislation as soon as possible. Thank you.
