Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we are committed to developing the plan. We're committed to expanding the midwifery services that we have here in the Northwest Territories. We've been committed to this for a while. The expansion has been slow but we've gone from providing about $775,000 worth of midwifery services in 2013-14 to $1.5 million, so it's not that we haven't been doing anything.
We had a plan in the Beaufort Delta which was modified. We have midwives in Fort Smith and Hay River and we are looking at a territorial model. At the same time, and as I said yesterday, as we build our facilities, our larger regional facilities, we actually planned space for midwifery services. If you look at the health centre we're building in Norman Wells there's a dedicated room properly plumbed to be a midwife's room with birthing tubs. We're planning ahead even though we haven't done all the work for the final design of a territorial plan, but we are doing the work that is necessary to build appropriate plans.
