I do not know if I am angry or confused now. There is part of me, listening to Mr. Arkins, that wants the Government to commit to the tax incentives past the year 2020 for the film industry, and there is another part of me that wants what the Government gives to the world of film to be held on to, and to maintain the current format. I want that to happen yet at the same time we have this complete impasse. It seems to me that there are middlemen dictating without licence aspects of the industry's work, is that the case?
