Will they be finished in a few months, in a few weeks? This is an urgent matter because this case has been going on for 10 years now. Moreover, work has been done. You've inherited a file that you're not familiar with; you know the scope of the problem. It's time to take action. The fees collected by the negotiating and legal team mean less money available. Can you tell us how much is left in the fund right now? Reference was made to $800 million. An amount of $1.1 billion was originally allocated, and $360 million has been used to compensate the victims. Can you give us an overview of what remains in the fund? You referred to 6,000 individuals. You say the decision had been made to pay people between $10,000 and $240,000. Before a final agreement is reached, isn't there some way to make interim payments?
