The CMF has to be, I believe, realigned—by the way, I was in front of them this morning. They have to be realigned to fit with the government's goals, which are around export and creating these opportunities.
Right now the way to increase your CMF envelope is to replay Canadian content over and over and over again on the 20 or so channels you have that nobody watches. That's not really good for Canadian content. That's not the way it should be.
Canadian producers are screaming about a lack of commissions, but we have zero in our CMF envelope. We'd be more than happy to commission that full amount. I think Corus this year had more money left in their development fund that they didn't spend than OUTtv has had since 2001; it's the same amount, just to give you some idea.
I would be able to spend that money really well, but we've been concentrating it. I know there's a lot of pressure from the BDUs, particularly those that put money into the system, to get that money back out through their companies, but that's not what the CMF was designed for. I think if more independent broadcasters had a larger amount, something significant—more than $50,000 or something like that, a base number to start from, based on exports or based on these types of things—then I think we'd see a real movement in that direction.
