Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, for clarification the question concerned the liability, the insurance liability of the government. When the Minister of the Crown transfers responsibilities of an individual department or program areas to a hamlet, or a town, or a municipality, there are certain liabilities that are waived by the Minister of the Crown. My question to the Minister again, is what is the contingency on this liability? What is the payment? Does MACA, for example, provide extra insurance coverage for these municipalities? The information that I have been provided is that lots of these municipalities, after the delivery of community empowerment services, have had problems with Insurance Bureau of Canada, or whatever to get insurance because of the liability contingency. So, the question was not answered, or I am rephrasing my question for the benefit of the Minister.
