I think that needs a little bit more thought and a little more planning, but I do think that there are ways we can work together.
Even from this panel today, and also on other days, all of the midwives who've been speaking have talked about indigenous midwifery. I think that's something to highlight. Whether the midwives are indigenous or not, there is a strong recognition of the importance of indigenous midwifery from our non-indigenous midwifery colleagues.
We only need to look at the very strong partnership between the Canadian Association of Midwives and the National Aboriginal Council of Midwives to see ways that we have figured out to work together and to support each other. We often think about non-indigenous organizations as being the support for indigenous organizations, and that is a notion that we really try to disrupt at NACM and CAM. We actually see the ways that the National Aboriginal Council of Midwives has contributed to the development of the Canadian Association of Midwives and how we work together at a partnership level. That is something that could extend to this midwifery chief officer, and we would be able to think about it and work that through.
