Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you, Mr. Wallace, for the great question. Each dollar invested in our industry creates green jobs. For each dollar invested you're going to generate seven dollars worth of investment out of that, creating good jobs for Canadians. Thank you.

Certainly, lawyers and dentists and accountants, as you said, made a lot of money, and not necessarily good films, in that process. We're looki

Finance committee  Ms. Bennett, you hit on something that of course is an ongoing irritant for us, and it is Jeopardy and the Wheel of Fortune being used as lead-ins to the Canadian content that we find in prime time on the CBC.

Finance committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Mulcair. There are a variety of means by which we would like to see investment in the industry increase. We already have a tax credit system that is quite efficient. However, it could be expanded, and as we suggest, we would like to see and we urg

Canadian Heritage committee  The primary use, Mr. Del Mastro--and we all acknowledge it, and you have to acknowledge it--of MP3 players is to record music. What we're looking for is the levy to be extended to those devices, please.
