Thank you, Mr. Chair. Because of the different projects we have been working on, we are looking at starting the review later this spring and it will be done internally. Our expectation or my expectation is we would look at what all of the different jurisdictions are doing. A lot of people are referencing what Yukon is doing or what Nunavut is doing. In the past, with support to the film industry, the biggest concern was we were just funding southern companies to come up and leave with the money in their pocket and there was no benefits remaining. Obviously times change and we were prepared to do a review and once we determine that there are significant benefits, then we would make representation to obtain additional resources and perhaps even go as far as looking at tax credits if that’s what other jurisdictions are doing to compete to see who ultimately...it’s whoever provides the most benefits that attract these filmmakers. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
