Observations to the Sixth Report of the
Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications
(Bill C-18)

Your Committee notes that the Bill does not include specific definitions of the audio-visual and sound recording industries. Your Committee further observes that clarity is always desirable in legislation. Your Committee notes, however, that the Minister has undertaken to include specific definitions in the new Act, which will be forthcoming, to modernize Telefilm Canada.
