Thank you. That's very helpful.
Ms. Noble, your testimony in the very beginning struck a chord with me.
I come from the Fraser Valley and I represent the Fraser Valley and the Fraser Canyon. Probably every Hallmark movie in North America has touched on my riding, the number one riding in Canada, Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon. Literally every week last year, I'd drive by downtown Abbotsford or Mission and see movies being made. Then the strike in the United States happened and the industry shut down. In fact, both neighbours on either side of my house work in the film industry and didn't get a paycheque for almost a year. Those families were very hurt. Those are good, high-paying jobs.
First off, what are actors and writers saying with respect to equivalent legislation or equivalent problems in the United States? Where do we need to find interoperability with American laws, specifically for English-language programming, to make sure our writers, entertainers and performers are not disadvantaged in any way?
