Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to clarify some things for Ms. Harder about what “Canadian production” means. You can find this on the CRTC site:
The CRTC only certifies Canadian film or television productions that meet the following criteria:
The producer must be a Canadian and must act as the central decision-maker from the development stage until the production is ready for commercial exploitation.
The production must earn a minimum number of points based on the key creative functions that are performed by Canadians [director, screenwriter, actors, etc.]. Usually, a minimum of 6 out of 10.
At least 75% of the production’s services costs must be paid to Canadians and at least 75% of the production’s post-production and laboratory costs must be paid for services provided in Canada by Canadians or Canadian companies.
The production must qualify for certification—
