Absolutely. It relates, actually, to what Darrell was just saying. The video game industry has always been a global industry. We have never made content that we sold purely domestically. The Canadian market is not big enough to sustain our industry. So we actually always sell overseas and are predominantly export-oriented. As a consequence, issues such as market access and so forth become critically important to us.
Because our products have been predominantly digital, and because the rules that apply to markets in the digital sphere versus the physical sphere have been different, we actually haven't had to deal with some of the customs tariffs and other challenges that some of the other industries have dealt with—although these still actually apply in some jurisdictions. So the rules that are developed around this are actually critically important.
In fact, the WTO has been doing an e-commerce moratorium that it renews every two years as part of the Doha Round that has somewhat faded into the background. That is something that we support, that is, the moratorium on e-commerce. We don't want to see e-commerce transactions getting caught in the same kinds of tariff issues that sometimes the physical transactions can.
There's a whole series of issues that actually now interrelate when it comes to these international trade issues. It's not only the issue of market access any more—which is critically important—but also labour mobility, which is a huge issue for us. We're a global industry. We actually tend to have a lot of labour that comes and goes in our industry. In Canada the biggest challenge we have is that the growth of our industry has outstripped our ability to staff it. So while we get a lot of great undergrads coming out of university at the junior levels, at the intermediate and senior levels we are actually running into major problems finding domestic talent to staff these positions. So we need to look abroad. But then we run into challenges with respect to temporary foreign workers, issues with respect to work permits, and so forth.
So the ability to leverage international agreements to take some of the friction out of that is actually hugely important to us, and making sure there's an equal amount of intellectual property protection across the board. As I say, when you're in a global marketplace, when you have differing levels of IP protection in Canada versus the States versus Europe versus Japan versus China, it's a huge problem because it means that each market is being treated differently.
