Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, if a midwife wanted to have a private practice here in the Northwest Territories or in Yellowknife in particular they could seek privileges at Stanton; that's something we'd certainly be willing to have a conversation about. If they wanted to start a private business they would have to have their own insurances and whatnot. Having said that, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are looking at developing a territorial midwifery model based out of Yellowknife. We have the one and a half positions, finally able to fill them as of last February; we're moving forward with the design. We have to build a business case so that we can bring it through our business planning process, through our financial process, to see if we can get the money, but we have to have a plan before we do that. That's the work that we're doing today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
