Mr. Chair, I will get the exact figures.
Still, I can say that we have doubled our $100 million annual investment in feature films. The hon. critic is correct. I am very pleased that she takes an interest in our television industry because it is worth, as she said, nearly $5 billion.
First, we must understand that the total volume of foreign production in Canada increased by 73% over the past five years. Why? Because we have taken steps to welcome foreign films. What are these steps? We have increased our income tax credit from 11% to 16% of eligible production costs. It is true that some American states and some other countries have imitated us and now have similar tax credits, which means that foreign and American productions now have a tendency to stay home.
On the other hand, it is cyclical. I want to reassure the hon. member that in Montreal, for example, the season started very slowly, but this fall four or five American films worth over $50 million were shooting in the streets of Montreal.
I can go on if necessary.
