I have only one minute left and I want to ask one further question, if Ms Licken does not mind. It concerns the film industry, which she referred to in her answer. The Government's clearly stated policy with the wage subsidy scheme was that it wanted to maintain the relationship between workers and employers. In the film industry - which is essentially publicly-funded by means of section 481 - all of the film producers terminated the employment of every single member of their crews rather than put them on the wage subsidy scheme on 12 March. That showed direct and flagrant disregard for stated Government policy. Is Ms Licken aware of this and what does she think of it? To me, it is completely unacceptable. This seems to be another example of film producers not wanting to take responsibility for employees. Most of the time they deny that they have any employees at all. How can they draw up health and safety guidelines for the reopening of film production in the wake of Covid-19 when they have no employees to consult about those guidelines?
