Let me just perhaps clarify.
The program is established by the department, and they'll say they will give funding for whatever, and these are the conditions. Telefilm actually decides who the individual contributions are made with, but Telefilm does not decide the policy issues around the program. This is very unusual for a crown corporation. A crown corporation will generally get a general directive from the minister, and then the board and the management of the crown corporation will decide how they carry out the mandate that has been given to that crown corporation by Parliament. In this case they are really administering a program on behalf of the department, which is very rare in crown corporations.
We're not saying that this is inappropriate. As was mentioned earlier, the law was changed and that can be done. It's just that it reduces the amount of control the crown corporation itself has over carrying out its own mandate and how it defines that mandate. That's why we raise the issue.
