Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is not an item that can be negotiated. Mr. Speaker, the requirement for insurance is mandatory. It is mandated by the Department of Finance and it is for the protection of the people who are using such facilities. What I was suggesting is that information on how to obtain insurance through an insurance firm, elsewhere than Inuvik, was what we would be able to provide. An insurance scheme other than what is being provided in the local area is what is being provided. It is not something that we are going to negotiate with. It is required for the protection of the operators and the clientele. We will provide information, and it should not be a detriment to anybody wanting to submit a proposal; the fact that Inuvik insurance companies are not able to provide that insurance.
