withdraw emergency services if they can't get better insurance protection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
association said in a news release Monday that volunteer searchers need good
liability insurance to protect themselves, and they're asking the provincial
government for assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt'>At
a meeting of the Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue Association on Sunday,
directors of 24 provincial teams voted to give notice they will withhold
services if their concerns on insurance aren't resolved by the provincial
government in two weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
groups say they're concerned partly because of third-party liability claims
made against volunteers when a <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Quebec</st1:place></st1:State>
couple became lost and a woman died in mountains near Golden, B.C.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
