SUDBURY Laurentian University s four-year midwifery program, one of only three offered in the province and the only one offered in French, was one of the many cuts made during the university s restructuring announcement on Monday. “The only reason I went to Laurentian was because I was francophone and cutting it completely, it s just going to have a domino effect,” said midwifery student Gaelle Nyamushara Ishimwe. Many inside the midwifery program at Laurentian are puzzled by the cut, since the demand for midwife care in the north continues to be high. “We have waiting lists in excess of 90 people for a couple of months,” said midwife Buffy Fulton-Breathat.
