While you're working on it, Mr. Angus, we'll move to motion number one, another motion by Mr. Kotto:
Whereas the resounding success of feature films in Quebec will not continue unless new sources of funding are injected into French-language film productions;
Whereas there has been a permanent $2 million cut in the Feature Film Fund and Telefilm Canada’s capacity to invest has been reduced by the impact of inflation;
Whereas the cost of production has increased incessantly, as have the funding applications to Telefilm;
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage recommends that the government, as a matter of urgency, allocate a recurring amount of $50 million to the Feature Film Fund, as called for by the industry; and that the chair report to the House.
Go ahead, Mr. Bélanger.
