Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciated that exchange. Just a couple more

questions on that. Obviously, the Minister knows the Yellowknife program was pulled because there were insufficient midwifes. One person could not do it. Ms. Bisaro was asking about one position. Obviously, we would need a team of midwives dedicated to Yellowknife, so I hope that will be a focus of the discussion when that’s appropriate. It sounds like it’s coming up soon.

I know the Minister is aware that there is a very committed bunch of midwifery, I’m not sure I would say activists as active in the promotion, and recognition of midwifery is an important role in this area. Will they be a part of the consultation that the Minister is contemplating here and what’s the timing on that?
