The producer is not an author. The producer hires actors and creators, but does not create anything. He administers a production. He obtains permits to produce and present the film. He shares his revenues with screenwriters. Under our collective agreements, if an author has written the entire script for a television series, he negotiates a contract for the script. If there are revenues, he will receive some royalties. This is fundamental. If it is not recognized in Canada that, in addition to being paid for the work, individuals can be compensated for the work's success, no creators would be interested in doing the work.
