You were speaking to your members.
Ms. Simard, you were once in politics, but mostly you have produced documentaries. You had worked at the NFB where you contributed to setting up the famous NFB app for smart phones. Putting its catalogue online, where everyone can have access to it, as is the case for heritage archives, is a great achievement for the National Film Board.
Today you are with SODEC. As such, at the AQPM meeting I attended, you said to the producers there that even though it is now more complex to produce films or television programs, it was not the right time for them to retire or to sell their production houses, because we need them to stay to help us cross this river that is the new broadcasting universe.
You alluded to the Godbout Commission report. In addition to funding, is the visibility of films that are produced here an issue? In the past, we had control over the visibility of our cultural production. Today, control is in the hands of international players who are not regulated, such as Netflix, even though they may have a .ca address. If everyone turns to these platforms to consume cultural products, are we not going to face a visibility issue for our own products?
