Well, you have a new fan in me, because that's exactly what we're trying to do. First of all, we're Canadian performers, we're Canadian artists, and we care about Canadian culture and Canadian stories and Canadian identity. We like to work on that material. So absolutely, yes.
ACTRA, I know, and the other unions will always encourage foreign production. Production that shoots here brings in a huge amount of economic activity across the country. We will never discourage it. But we realize there's a jeopardy in counting on it only. When Hollywood production decides to shoot only in Romania and Mexico, which they say they will do if we don't.... In fact, in ACTRA's negotiations last year, the Disney executive vice-president said to us across the bargaining table that if we wouldn't reduce our rates by 25% and give them Internet use for free, they would just take all of their work to Romania and Mexico and starve us. Those are the kinds of words that are exchanged across the bargaining table when you're dealing with Hollywood lawyers, unfortunately. But we didn't listen to it, and we prevailed.
Thank you, Ms. Nash, for the question. It is absolutely essential that we build the Canadian industry. We need to do it in every way we can, because we cannot be reliant on the vagaries of a currency exchange and the speculation that goes on, which pushes the Canadian dollar up or down. And Hollywood retreats as it goes up.
We absolutely must build it, and that's what our leading members are working to do.
