Thank you, Mr. Dion. It's nice to meet you.
We recommend just what Peter was saying, that the standing committee advocate for the removal of the grind of provincial tax credits. The ensuing new money entering the system would encourage new development, production and the associated jobs throughout the entire industry value chain. That's certainly our first recommendation. I'm also aware of other witnesses who will come forward and propose that federal tax credits, or at least a segment of them, be advanced as a means by which producing may be relieved of some of the interim financing charges that, simply put, take money off the screen.
Finally, I think in sync again with Peter and Shawn, we propose that the $10.6 million that was taken away from Telefilm be returned. That was cut when the government was posting deficits, but mostly this year we'll have a surplus.
That's really what I would suggest: elimination of the grind and reinstatement of the budget that was cut at Telefilm.
