I did want to add to and build on that to say that the Midwives Association of B.C. has been conducting research on burnout in their population. They found that, over COVID, the proportion of B.C. midwives who reported moderate to high work-related burnout has increased from 45% in 2017 to 77%. That has resulted in the proportion of midwives who've made plans to leave the profession: It more than doubled in the same time period. Twenty per cent of midwives in British Columbia now are considering taking steps to leave the profession.
