I understand my colleague's hesitation, but I also understand the importance of participating in such a festival, particularly for the new members of the committee who are not accustomed to the feature film world. Films are talked about, decisions are made. Telefilm Canada is an important organization that manages public funds. If we do not understand the system from within, what will happen?
The Banff Television Festival is an event that may, as an initiation, be very important. I come from that environment, therefore I do not have much to learn, but if we cannot come to an agreement, I suggest that we send researchers to do the necessary work through a questionnaire and that they return with the relevant information, which could potentially be organized in the form of questions.
