I would be interested to see how that plays out. It is necessary. There should be a proper register of employees and trainees.

To follow on from our earlier discussions, my concern, as I expressed it to others and it is a concern that was expressed by people who work in the film industry at our hearing last week, relates to the question of who are the employers in the industry. The film credit is given to create employment and training. From what I gather, which was more or less confirmed by Mr. Hickey during the committee's earlier session, the DAC is the employer. DACs only exist for the period of the production and approximately a year thereafter.
