Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. And I appreciate the question. I feel like we're a long way from paying midwifes to be on call simply because we have jobs that we need to fill, and the midwifes are -- are, you know, in short supply at this point. They're also -- as you probably know, the positions we're advertising now are to support communities in their home births. So what I'm struggling with is whether we would have enough staff to provide an on-call service saying that, you know, midwives can't work 24 hours a day. So that to me would be a new direction in this budget and would need to be incorporated into the business planning process. Thank you.
