Again, that is a great question. There has always been a bit of a frustration with the CBC for not doing more in the feature film area. And I know there are reasons for that. I think the current CBC management is very interested in looking at film in some ways, doing more. But the current view is that they like to focus on series since these tend to be better audience builders.
While there is a stated desire to meet their current commitments in the feature film area, there has been an ongoing frustration with CBC about doing more in the film area.
It is a great example of where there could be much greater synergy between the theatrical release of a Canadian film and its broadcast date, with the broadcaster being more involved and earlier, and promoting the film.
There is some interest at CBC in doing that, but the reality is that it's very hard to get interest in a feature film from the public broadcaster.
