Canadian Television is about to become slightly less full of Canadians,
thanks to a major CRTC decision released quietly yesterday.
The CRTC is allowing the independent production funds (including the Shaw
Rocket Fund, Rogers Fund, Cogeco Program Development Fund, Telefilm
Canada, and the Harold Greenberg Fund) to reduce their "point system"
for what determines Canadian-ness of a project from 8 to 6. The general
effect of this will be to allow for the hiring of non-Canadians in key
creation and starring roles (ie: Americans will be able to create and star
in "Canadian" TV series).
