Thank you, Mr. Roland. Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm just wondering if the Minister could describe for us the types of liability and crime insurance coverage that this type of insurance covers. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the detail I have is just the fact that it's liability insurance. The actual policy I haven't seen and if we want to get to that level of detail, I'd have to get an insurance specialist to look at it. But it is liability insurance. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason that I mention that is I know we're spending a tremendous amount of money on a legal case that we didn't have insurance on. I know when I see the words "crime" and "liability" it just leads me to question if we have insurance in this area to cover us against crimes that employees of the Government of the Northwest Territories or the health authorities might make. That begs the question of why we don't have coverage for other departments and employees of the Government of the Northwest Territories, but I've asked this question before and perhaps the Minister could respond to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have liability insurance for a number of different issues or situations that might arise. We have found there are certain types of liability insurance that we are just unable to receive any more because of the potential costs that are associated with the activities that may occur. It is difficult in some areas to get certain types of liability insurance nowadays. But for that which we are able to get, we've worked to ensure that our government employees, staff and people who work for the government are covered. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So to the Minister, if an employee of one of these health authorities committed a crime against a patient or another client of whatever service delivery that they're doing, would this insurance cover us against liability, Mr. Chairman, on the behaviour of one of our employees or an employee of the health authority? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, once again, we'd have to go to the specific policy that's in place and, as well, look at what may have happened in a situation. In fact, if the employee -- we're going hypothetical here -- were doing something that was absolutely outside of what they were supposed to be doing, then we'd have difficulty receiving that type of coverage. Again, it's almost a case-by-case situation with the actual policy that's in place, and we can try to get some of that information and share it with the members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The case that I bring up might be hypothetical, but there's a real case that this government has spent upwards of $10 million on one that involved an employee of the Government of the Northwest Territories and, to be honest, Mr. Chairman, I want to ensure that the government does not have to pay out this type of money in lawsuits and litigation charges in the future. I want to make sure that we're doing everything we can to cover ourselves off against expenditures like that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I stated, we will get the policy and provide that information as to what is covered and what is not covered. Thank you.
