Yes, I understand that. We already dealt with it in the context of section 6. It is already provided for. It amounts to a little repetition but that is no harm. The issue is that there is a fundamental change for a consumer entering into an insurance contract. Under the Bill as drafted, before the consumer is bound by the contract there will be a requirement on the insurer to provide the consumer with the information on premiums, deductibles, name and address and any intermediate premiums that fall due. The amendment allows for the same to happen but after the fact.
