Ms. Lisa Blanchette (Director, Public Affairs and Communications, Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) at the Canadian Heritage Committee

I'll go, Eleanor, as long as you're okay.

Thank you for the question. I think you heard a similar pitch from the DGC, from Dave Forget in his presentation.

We have been working together with industry stakeholders, with the Writers Guild, the Canadian Media Producers Association and the CDCE.

We are in agreement that having one standard definition, as Dave outlined, is the way to go. To make it as strong as possible, making maximum use is a strong and appropriate standard. It has served us well for decades, and we think it should continue to be the standard applicable to broadcasting undertakings operating in Canada.
