The completion guarantee is designed specifically to enable a producer to say to a financier, I can provide you with the assurance that if you give me this amount of money, that will be the end of it. And there would be no more that I'll be coming back to you for. And that is the origin of the completion guarantee. In its first year of operation, it provided completion guarantees for 15 films. And we have the pape- we have the scripts, we have the progress reports, we have the budgets for all of those, and also, very interestingly, the correspondence which went back and forth at that time between the company, the producers, and their financiers.
