Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the Member for his comments. This has been a very compressed process. I believe it's 10 months that we moved from ground zero to having a piece of legislation that is now before this House for consideration for third reading and it is long overdue. It's a fundamental piece. It's the foundation that will allow us to move birthing services to other communities and make it a service women can access closer to the communities that they live in. I would like to thank as well the committee and all the people who have worked to make this possible, and the officials who have worked extra hours to get this done It has been a mission for people like Leslie Paulette and Gisela Becker, two midwives. I know it will allow midwives who I know exist in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Fort Smith, Hay River and hopefully soon other communities to practice their profession in a regulated way that makes them part of our integrated service deliver system. Thank you.
