For many years, I have been raising the concerns of people in the film industry and this question relates particularly to actors, writers, directors and performers who are forced by film producers in this country to sign buyout contracts, contracts which are far inferior to what actors, performers, writers and directors get in other jurisdictions. These buyout contracts are a breach, in the view of Equity, the performers and, in my view, of the copyright directive. What is the Government doing to progress the concerns of the actors and performers?
