That isn't a statement about insurance, it is a credit Westjet gives you for the fare in a "Travel Bank" (not Westjet $) less the change/cancellation fee. The insurance would cover the change/cancel fee AND possibly get the fare back in actual cash instead of a credit.

See the faq here about travel bank/travel credits:
