Over the last 10 years, we believe that Franco-Canadian producers, directors and actors have been working in a area that has undergone a rather interesting professional development. And yet, these people are unknown. For a variety of reasons—reasons which would constitute a different submission on the subject—the entire pool of professionals is not at all well-known like people working at Radio-Canada in Montreal. Knowing what we know about the artistic and cultural environment, networks have to be formed. People working at Radio-Canada in Montreal often come from the very city. When seeking people, the first reaction is to go and get these resources, these people in a pool we know.
Indeed, we must work with Radio-Canada to become more familiarized with the existing resources across the country. That is why shows such as Tout le monde en parle and Bons baisers de France are clear examples of why there is absolutely no reason why Canadian francophones should not be represented. It is very good to be regionally present; however, Radio-Canada has the important responsibility of showcasing multicultural and diversified examples of Canadian francophone culture at the national level. We have to move in this direction. Often, it is by becoming familiar with the resources that exist that we can succeed. The Franco-Canadian community can work in collaboration with Radio-Canada to get there. However, Radio-Canada given its existing national infrastructure, can certainly make sure that there is better collaboration between Radio-Canada in Montreal and its regional television stations.
