Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The purpose of our presentation is to provide committee members with an update on the actions taken by the department since the tabling of the government's response to the Advisory Committee's report on feature film. We have handed out a copy of our presentation.

Canadian Heritage committee  Definitely. Earlier we talked about Bill C-18, which was passed in the last Parliament. That bill was in response, in particular, to one remark by the Auditor General. Its purpose was to update Telefilm Canada's mandate. We're currently working to modernize the crown corporation.

Canadian Heritage committee  I believe committee members have already made proposals, in particular in the two reports they tabled a week or two ago. They contain proposals on Telefilm's governance in particular. Committee members also made certain comments during the study of Bill C-18.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Jean-Pierre. As regards the implementation of controls, this mainly concerns the management of the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office and the co-management relationship between the Tax Credit Program and the Canada Revenue Agency. As regards the certification of files, we've already implemented the strictest analysis procedures.
