I don’t think we’re talking about anything that’s new here. I think they had midwives back several hundred years ago, so I’m not sure why the department’s taking so long in
implementing this type of thing. We’re not reinventing the wheel.
I’d like to ask the Minister about the funding that he’s talking about needing. I know, in the community of Hay River, we are trying to locate doctors. Are we able to use the funding for doctors currently to implement midwifery in some of these communities?
