eS 10 INTRODUCTION This introductory section results from a request from the Department of Secretary of State to make available to the public, reports on the Canadian film industry, prepared by the Bureau of Management Consulting. BMC had undertaken a study of the Canadian Film Industry over a nine month period, from July 1975 to March 1976. As a result of this work, four pre-edit reports were given to the Client at the end of March 1976. In addition to the reports, a formal presentation was made to departmental personnel. These reports, correspond to the following major aspects of the Canadian film industry: markets production distribution and exhibition labour force The purpose of this introduction is threefold (1) to explain the background and environment within which the four project reports were undertaken, and (2) to comment, primarily, on the executive summaries, and the more important findings and observations contained in the four project reports, (3) to offer suggested courses of action to government and industry personnel. The four reports are substantially the same as were delivered to Client at the end of March 1976. Any changes are primarily editorial and typographical. Each report can be judged on its own merits and demerits.
