While working at the department of Communications in Ottawa with Ilan McLaren, director of Cul tural Industries, Mortimer will head up work on a national film policy paper. A recent cabinet shuffle in Ontario, and a restructuring of ministries, has done away with the department of Cultural Industries there. The two former ministries of Recreation and culture, and Industry and Tourism have been reorganized to become three ministries: Tourism and Recreation, Industry and Trade, and Citizenship and Culture. David Spence, who headed up Cultural Industries, has been moved to the Ontario Science Centre as chief of marketing. Although there had been an announcement last September about the creation of a new film and video office to foster industrial development in Ontario, no concrete steps have yet been taken toward its realization.
