Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is quite correct that it is a concern with some operators that they are not able to purchase that type of insurance and that volume, and that the insurance companies in the Inuvik Region perhaps are a little reluctant to provide that level of coverage. However, it is not an impediment to anyone submitting a proposal, Mr. Speaker, because I think the problem was looked at by the department some time ago, and an alternative has been suggested to them. They have the information necessary that will help any potential bidders to obtain the necessary insurance through another firm.
