I have a follow-on question. Obviously, the project to project idea creates that power differential issue that we need to deal with, whether it is the actors or the crew. If we could get around that piece we could deal with the collective bargaining issues and some form of representation, in whatever forum that it needs to be, so we can bridge that gap and that power differential. Perhaps there could be a database or whatever, so there is a recording of all of those people involved and maybe it would have their skill set, an element of their CV, and who is working where, and that sort of detail. Then we could track the training across the board by having that information.

That also provides us with an overview of the industry that taxpayers' money is going into. Then we can get the best bang for our buck, for all of us.
