We recognize that increased access to midwifery services will not only enhance perinatal services for NWT residents and improve outcomes for mothers and babies but also strengthen the delivery of culturally sensitive based primary care in our health system. We are very interested in this, and we have taken the actions that I have referenced. We do, however, require an additional $2 million to implement phases 2 and 3 of the midwifery recommendations, and that money does not exist in our budget at this time.
