Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome. I agree that your presentation was outstanding. I know the NFB, not because I walked by your building on the boulevard Métropolitain in Montreal, rather, because when I went to see an American feature film in the theatre, an NFB short was always shown before the main film. We left the theatre impressed and proud to be Canadian. We are perhaps of the same generation.
Furthermore, I have noticed that on one of the channels we get on cable, MoviePix, we are starting to see Norman McLaren shorts that are 40 years old. These productions are very impressive. This seems to be a new initiative and I congratulate you for it. However, I must admit that I no longer seem to see these shorts appear on Radio-Canada. Are you satisfied with your relationship with the Corporation? Could we encourage it to broadcast more films?
My second question is related to my first comment. Do you intend to work more closely with feature film distributors in Canadian theatres in order to reposition these NFB shorts, before American feature films, etc.?
