Absolutely, and after 40 years...I'm old enough to have seen the growth in this industry, and it is considerable, believe me. There are those who would argue academically and on the street that the real birth of Canadian cinema as a sustainable industry occurred when the Canadian Film Development Corporation, now Telefilm Canada, was established in 1967. Additions such as tax credits and co-production agreements--we've got these tools to ensure a strong, healthy industry. It's constantly under stress, constantly looking for partners and dollars, but where it's at is pretty impressive.
As I say, it's shared by many countries in the world, although there are countries like France, particularly, that give four times more money in support of their industry than Germany does, and of course there is the success of the Danish film industry.
