Culture needs to be supported.
If the idea of an author-driven cinema is important to us, it's going to need support, and Telefilm has been absolutely instrumental in that. The series was shot in Prince Edward Island and the broadcaster is located in Vancouver, so it's truly a national production. If there was no Canadian cinema, there would be no reflection on how my brothers and sisters out there are feeling. For no other reason than the fact that they're of the highest calibre. We've seen the growth of sound editing facilities, post-production facilities, better recording studios and we've seen the infrastructure develop around that industry, and Telefilm has been absolutely critical in that development.
