The NFB's budgets are not annualized, and its mandate has expanded over the years. It has a very expensive digital platform that it has to maintain. This raises concerns, because the only cuts it has been able to make are in production. The fixed costs are increasing from one year to the next. The only variable the NFB has been able to control is production.
Clearly, we are concerned about this, just as we are concerned today about the place of independent production in the new context of foreign platforms, which are extremely present on the market and have no concern for Canada's two official languages.
