While the work we have started within our industry has been instrumental in our quest to create gender parity, we feel we have only just begun. We'd like to end our presentation by asking the federal government to play its role by implementing the following three recommendations.
First, ensure that there is gender parity on boards, like CBC/Radio-Canada, NFB, and Telefilm, and in government appointees to the Canada Media Fund.
Second, the government must urge all organizations that receive funding to set a goal of achieving gender parity in key creative roles in the productions they finance.
Third, the government must also urge those organizations to track and publicly report on their progress.
We thank you for your time and look forward to your questions.
Thank you very much.
