I do understand the pressure the midwifery service is in in Yellowknife, as well the challenge of expanding services within our system which is already currently under enormous financial pressure. The only way for us to expand programs such as that is to make some real bending-the-trend changes that changes the trajectory of where we are going with the health and social system where we can focus on prevention, focus on community care, and midwifery fits into that. In order for us to resource it in a way that we would like to see, not only in Yellowknife but across the Territories, we need to make some profound changes, and the Foundation for Change, which I'm going to be tabling next week, will speak to that. Thank you.
