The cuts have been painful for some of our employees, but our leadership opted to eliminate activities that were not central to our operations. Our two theatres in Montreal and Toronto and our online viewing stations were a bit outdated technologically speaking. Making our films available on the Internet means we no longer have to maintain onerous and overly expensive infrastructure for viewing stations where people would sit and watch films.
We preferred to drop those kinds of activities in favour of core production activities. We even announced that we would be increasing our resources for French-language production in minority contexts, as well as creating executive producer positions in Toronto and Vancouver. About 20% of our resources goes to French-language production outside Quebec. Despite the cuts, we have increased our production resources, and we have done so without any negative impact on the distribution of our films across the country. Many of those 70 jobs were part-time and tied to more ancillary activities.
