Minister of Canadian Heritage Steven Guilbeault rises at a meeting of the Special Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on June 1, 2020.More than $1-billion in Canadian film and television production is “at imminent risk” if the federal government does not immediately address the lack of COVID-19 insurance for domestic producers, according to new surveys conducted by the country’s French- and English-language producers associations.
On Friday, the Canadian Media Producers Association and the Association québécoise de la production médiatique issued a joint news release highlighting the fact that 214 films and series are “camera-ready” but cannot start production due to a lack of insurance policies covering shutdowns related to COVID-19. According to the trade body groups, the projects affected would generate 19,560 jobs.
“The implementation of a federal government-backed insurance program is the missing piece that would allow hundreds of productions to come to life and create thousands of jobs for creators and crew members,” Hélène Messier, president and CEO of the AQPM, said in a statement.
“We’ve met with government officials across multiple ministries to discuss our proposal, and although they acknowledge the urgency of this issue, months have passed without any action,” said the CMPA’s Mastin. “While governments in the United Kingdom, Australia, France and elsewhere have addressed the insurance issue for their production sectors, producers in Canada are losing millions – and in some cases facing bankruptcy – because of the lack of a federal program.
