52. The Gouvernement shall pay the damages for which a licensee is, in the opinion of the Minister of Justice or according to a judgment of the court, liable to third parties in consequence of an accident resulting directly from hunting or fishing for recreational purposes in Québec, but the amount paid by the Gouvernement shall not exceed $10,000 in addition to interest and the costs respecting such sum.
Notwithstanding any provision of an insurance contract, the Gouvernement is bound to contribute to the payment of the damages for which the licensee is liable only to the extent to which they exceed the obligation of an insurer under a liability insurance policy covering the same damages.
