Those I've met form a very small sample. To date, I've perhaps met four or five individuals, in November and December, because, as I explained earlier, I had prior outside engagements. It's not necessary to meet these people in order to know... In Quebec, for example, we all saw the newspaper reports of the statements by Roger Frappier, who is complaining about inadequate funding for French-language films. That's fair ball. Mr. Frappier is, among other things, an intelligent person. He's an excellent producer who puts out high-quality works. Obviously, for people like Mr. Frappier, there will never be enough funding to satisfy their appetite.
