Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 37 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
We are currently conducting a review of the Canadian feature film industry.
For the first hour today we have with us from the Canadian Media Production Association, Michael Hennessy, who is the president and chief executive officer, as well as Marc Séguin, who is the senior vice-president, policy. From New Real Films we have Jennifer Jonas, producer and co-chair of the feature film committee of the Canadian Media Production Association. As well, from Pope Productions, we have Paul Pope, producer, and co-chair of the feature film committee of the Canadian Media Production Association.
We'll be hearing from Mr. Hennessy for 15 minutes, and then we will move to our questioning.
Mr. Hennessy, you have the floor.
