I can maybe field this, because I deal with the immigration concerns on a daily basis for the different films that we shoot.
There has been a change in the immigration policy with regard to bringing foreign workers into Canada. As Peter said, the number of crew that we import, generally from the United States, the U.K. or Europe, continues to decrease as the depth of the labour pools here increases and as Canadians are better and better trained.
It's much less common now to see tradespeople coming in, cinematographers and such. We will forever have an issue bringing U.S. actors in. We often do need American actors as part of packaging and selling the film. That's generally a studio requirement. When Sony came here to shoot The Interview with us, we had to bring a number of Americans up for them to package the film internationally.
The issue now has become a practical one in that turnaround time has moved from approximately 48 hours to upwards of two weeks. On a large feature film, that's fine, but when you're shooting television, and you're often not casting your show until days before you shoot, it has proven to be very challenging. This isn't a B.C. issue; this is certainly a national issue.
