We've been referring to the need for insurance off site. My question has to do with insurance on site. It's my understanding that operators carry property insurance for cleanup and repair costs. To get a licence to operate a facility, you have to have sufficient funds for decommissioning. It's my understanding that the bill does not require on-site insurance. Is this something that we need to address, or is it sufficient to allow the operators to set their own levels for on-site insurance and repair costs?
