Might the Government actualy fund Midwifery in Alberta?

For years and years ASAC has lobbied the government for publicly funded midwifery services. There have definitely been times in the past when people have become excited that the government is going to finally follow through on a many decade's old promise. But it does seem promising that our current health minister seems to be suggesting that midwifery services will be funded in the near future. Will funded midwifery be part of a Primary Care Network system? Such that only some consumers,in limited regions of the province, are able to access funded midwifery care. Will families still be able to choose their birth location? Will there be further restrictions to midwives' scope of practice following funding? Would funding be followed by a government commitment to ensuring a midwifery education program is established in Alberta?
I have so many hopes and so many questions about this tantalizing news. Curious to see how things play out over the months to come.
