I have to join a couple of my colleagues in questioning you about the $25,000 exemption for the first amount of income earned by people in the cultural industry. Is that a maximum earnings per year, or does that become a de facto personal exemption for people in the cultural industries? In other words, would Celine Dion have the first $25,000 of her income exempt?
