We will wrap up, then.
In summary, we'd like to leave you with three points.
Independent producers are the cornerstone of the Canadian television industry, and regional producers within the group provide the diversity of voices that make it a truly national industry.
Two, as an example of a regional production community, Manitoba shows that we can build viable centres of production outside Toronto and Montreal that add diversity and creative and financial value to the national system. We offer our local community a voice.
Finally, in the longer term, we need a digital media strategy for Canada. We encourage you to support the CFTPA's call for national consultations on this issue.
We thank the committee for inviting us to appear, and we look forward to answering any questions you have. Thank you.
