Meegwetch, Buffy, for your remarks.
If I can chime in, Madam Larouche.... Again, I didn't have my translation on, but I caught some of what you were asking.
I do want to share really quickly.... The relationship in Quebec—I guess my question is a rebuttal back to you—is your relationship with the Cree nation. The Cree nation in northern Quebec is a very vibrant community that has taken a very political stance in ensuring that relationships happen, specifically with leadership—in the past with Matthew Coon Come and the hydro dams to ensure that there's revenue-sharing with resources. They've been able to sustain their educational cultural identity, along with their health authorities, to ensure that Cree midwives are happening.
It is not the same as soon as you cross one side of that James Bay border; it's a very different reality. We are now working directly with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, which has been critical, as I was stating in my earlier opening remarks, for the importance of indigenous midwifery in what we now call Ontario. As I was stating, the Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre is one of two aboriginal health access centres that received specific aboriginal midwifery funding, and the province itself is coming back to expand our program here in the north to ensure that we can continue to recruit and retain aboriginal midwifery.
That is not the case if we lose our midwifery school. Our school is critical to ensuring that we continue to expand this service. Even Sudbury.... It's disgraceful to say that we're in the north. When we talk about the north from an indigenous perspective, we're going into fly-in communities that still don't have access to clean water, so we can't even provide midwifery because they don't even have access to clean water.
