The Canadian Production sector is the largest of the three key sectors. It can be further subdivided into two sub-sectors: Television Production and Theatrical Production. Canadian Production is comprised of television programs and films made largely by independent production companies, although it also includes television programs made by production companies affiliated with Canadian broadcasters. All of the television programs and films in the Canadian Production sector are certified as Canadian content by the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO) or the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). 2. The Foreign Location and Service Production sector is the second-largest segment and is largely comprised of feature films and television programs filmed in Canada by foreign producers or by Canadian service producers on behalf of foreign producers. The majority of foreign location and service production is made by producers based in the United States; however, approximately 10% to 15% of the production activity in this sector is made by Canadian producers. 3. The Broadcaster In-House Production sector includes television programs made by Canadian television broadcasters in their own facilities, and is comprised primarily of news, sports and current affairs programming.

In 2008/09, "lm and television production in Canada decreased to just under $4.9 billion. In 2009/10, the total volume of production climbed back over $4.9 billion – 5% below the peak reached in 2007/08. Overall, the total volume of film and television production in Canada increased by $29 million, or 0.6%, between 2008/09 and 2009/10. #e increase in total production volume can be attributed back to the Canadian theatrical sub-sector and the Foreign Location and Service Production (FLS) sector. Production volume in the Canadian theatrical sub-sector was up by $91 million due to a higher number of high-budget English-language feature "lms. A higher level of feature "lm production in British Columbia and more television series produc- tion in Ontario and Quebec allowed overall FLS production to edge
