We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Prologue This report was prepared for the Department of the Secretary of State by the Bureau of Management Consulting (BMC). The Bureau of Management Consulting is an agency of the Department of Supply and Services of the Canadian federal government. The report represents the written work of seven management consultants, undertaken between September 1, 1975 and March 31, 1976. The report should not be interpreted as the position of the Department of the Secretary of State, nor of any other participants, public or private, who provided us information in confidence. The report should be interpreted in the spirit with which it was written to provide policy makers with a third party perspective on the Canadian Film Industry. It is hoped that the information contained herein will become part of the general body of knowledge on the industry and will contribute to both public and private sector groups in the on-going process of developing policies. We did not address the cultural mandates of the agencies, something which must be considered before major changes can occur. On behalf of the Bureau we want to thank all those individuals who gave of their time and advice on this project. We wish to say a particular word of thanks to Mr. Gordon Noble, Film Policy Manager at the Department of the Secretary of State. Bureau of Management Consulting 1976
