The APFTQ and its members work in a unique legislative context since they are subject to provincial labour relations legislation with respect to film and television, namely the Act respecting the professional status and conditions of engagement of performing, recording and film artists. I mention this because of the distinctive features involved. In this context, the APFTQ negotiates multi-employer collective agreements with artist associations and technician unions, including the DGC and ACTRA, who are present this morning. These agreements cover a hundred or so artist positions that are recognized under the provincial legislation. Once these agreements are in place, the APFTQ member producers must respect them.
