A last question on this page here. It goes back to the Midwifery Program and some questions that were brought forward by my colleagues here. In the midwifery report there was a standard of practice for registered midwives in the NWT, February 2005. You go through it and there is some really good information there in terms of standards for midwives that would practice in the Northwest Territories. We constantly hear the Minister say that they need this coordinator to develop regulations, standards and competencies before moving forward.

I’d like the Minister to give me his reasoning why we’re not using these standards of practices for midwives that were signed off by one of our previous Ministers of Health, and why do we have to reinvent the wheel. Why do we have to go back out and continue to try to develop these standards that are sitting right in front of me? I’d like to ask the Minister why we are going to waste a year developing standards when there are midwives in the communities that need healthy pregnancies and healthy deliveries.
