I was a member of the AILG when I was a councillor, and one of the concerns that came up was that a lot of councillors did not have health insurance. With more than 900 members, there should be some health insurance policy available. There is no mechanism to deal with the situation when councillors are sick and not fit to do their duties due to treatments or whatever it may be. That is one of the key issues.
