[Background music]

[An apartment building is visible. The Desjardins chevron appears like a roof over the building. A moving truck pulls up in front.]

[On-screen text: Why insure your loan if you're young and healthy?]

Man: We're also thinking of buying soon … I'm wondering, did you two get loan insurance?

[The moving truck starts back up and leaves. A house appears with a "Sold" sign out front.]

Woman: We did! We got it when we signed the mortgage.

[A signature line with a signature appears under the house.]

Man: But aren't you a bit young for that kind of insurance?

[The house disappears. A box marked "Fragile" appears with 2 wine glasses sitting alongside it. A third glass comes out of the box and cracks.]

Woman: Remember I was off work for 6 months last year?

[The cracked glass goes back in the box. A Russian doll comes out and falls on the ground. The doll opens and a dollar coin rolls across the bottom of the screen.]

Woman: We hadn't bought the house yet, but if I'd had to make mortgage payments while I was recovering, I don't know how my girlfriend and I would have made it financially.

[The coin rolls across the bottom of the screen and then falls in a coin slot.]

[On-screen text: Keep up your mortgage payments]

[A first aid kit appears on the screen.]

[On-screen text: Prioritize your recovery]

[The house the couple purchased appears on the screen again.]

Man: Yeah, good point.

Woman: So … insuring my loan gives everyone peace of mind. Starting with me.
