    December 18, 2015 Filed Electronically Ms. Danielle May-Cuconato Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Ms. May-Cuconato: Re: Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2015-467 Call for comments on the Commission’s policies relating to Certified Independent Production Funds The Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) is the national association representing more than 2,200 professional screenwriters working in English-language film, television, radio, and digital media production in Canada. The WGC is actively involved in advocating for a strong and vibrant Canadian broadcasting system containing high-quality Canadian programming. While the WGC’s mandate is to represent our members, in advocating a strong Canadian broadcasting system that offers Canadians a variety of programming, we also play a role in balancing competing interests in the broadcasting system. Executive Summary ES.1 The WGC would like to see the Canadian broadcasting system become more creator- and talent- driven, with a greater focus on creativity. This includes support for script and concept development, as one of the key opportunities for improvement in the system. The nature of development has changed significantly over the past 5-10 years, with increased pressure to develop materials before a broadcaster will financially commit to the project. This has in turn put pressure on screenwriters to work for free—something which is not sustainable and which contributes to poorer-quality programming, the withdrawal of good scripts and ideas from the Canadian system, or both. The WGC is pleased to see the Commission specifically identify this issue in the Notice of Consultation, and recommends that more Certified Independent Production Funds (CIPFs) create script and concept development funding programs.
