Thank you. Medical travel is used to get the person to the closest point of where the service can be provided. So, for example, if somebody in Yellowknife was having a baby, we provide obstetrics services in Yellowknife, fully comprehensive state-of-the-art obstetrics services in Yellowknife. Therefore, we wouldn't be using medical travel to transport somebody to another community where the service is actually available, when birthing services are available in Yellowknife.
I do take the Member's point that, in something like a location like Simpson, you know, the cost of going to Simpson is probably no different than the cost of going to Yellowknife. So we've already committed that we're going to develop a territorial model which will address this question. But, in the meantime, I will have the department do a quick analysis on how we can actually facilitate for other communities that may want to have birthing services and/or utilize some of the birthing services in that community, recognizing that, if those services exist in the community where you live, medical travel wouldn't make sense. But for Simpson, maybe Providence, maybe it does. Let me get the department to do some analysis on that. There might be some short-term opportunities here until we can actually finalize the development of a Territorial Midwifery Action Plan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
