Mr. Lambert, can you confirm for me the existence of a tacit agreement among all world producers whereby when a foreign company is hired, the party doing the hiring does not have to cover the performers' travel costs, that is their airfare? For example, if the Cirque Éloize goes to Paris to perform, the Canadian government covers the travel costs. The producer in Nice merely pays the performing fee, plus the cost of travel from Paris to Nice. Is that really the way it works?
