The Chair (Mr. Gordon Brown (Leeds—Grenville, CPC)) Conservative Gord Brown

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'm going to call to order meeting number 34 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Today we are starting our feature film industry study, and that is pursuant to Standing Order 108(2).

With us today are three representatives from the Department of Canadian Heritage. We are going to hear first from Jean-François Bernier, who is the director general, cultural industries. Along with him today are Johanne Mennie, director of the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office, and Scott White, director of film and video policy and programs.

Mr. Bernier and I participated in the last study about 10 years ago, so there's a little bit of institutional memory around the table.

Mr. Bernier, you have the floor for 10 minutes.
