Earlier, I quoted some quite significant figures about the decrease in Canadian production for the services that are becoming more and more of a factor.
According to paragraph 3(1)(f) of the act, broadcasting undertakings are to make predominant use of Canadian creative resources. The bill no longer provides for that possibility.
In our view, it is clear that the objective of using Canadian resources predominantly can ensure that original Canadian productions are made. We feel that it is important to give creators here all the room they need to tell our stories to Canadians.
In our opinion, it is very important, it is even a priority, to keep the paragraph as it is at present.
