It's a good question.
My suggestion is not to eliminate the role of the Canadian producer. We still have to have a feature film industry where Canadians are producing, but there are other guidelines that really limit their ability to partner with non-Canadian producers or receive financing from sources that could potentially provide the majority of the financing.
There's a written guideline, and it is a guideline, mind you, that if you have 75% of your financing coming from one non-Canadian source, it could be implied that the company providing that financing is in the position to dictate to the producer how to produce their film, to have more than just a say over key creative elements but to have a say in the day-to-day operations. So I'm not suggesting that we remove the role of the producer.
My comment was focusing on the commercial viability of our films. One rule I question is the need for one of the top two highest-paid actors being Canadian. If we could relax that rule, we could perhaps still require that there be a Canadian screenwriter or a director, because that is one of the guidelines. However, if we relax the ability to bring people to the production that the rest of the world will associate with better to make our productions more viable, that's the sort of thing I'm looking at.
The last thing I want to see is our being known as a country that provides all these incentives and all that we're creating are actors and singers. That's the last thing we want to see.
