I thank you for that. I live in an urban centre, in Fort McMurray. If I were deemed to be high risk at any point in time, I would actually have to go to Edmonton, 500 kilometres away, which is insane, because we simply don't have a NICU. Every single pregnant woman in my riding who lives in Fort Chipewyan is having to go to either Fort McMurray or Edmonton, away from family structures, just to have a baby.
I'm wondering if anyone on this panel has any idea or any thoughts around midwifery services potentially playing support and having some of that culturally sensitive care to help bring babies into the world in their communities.
