Canadian Content Rules (Cancon)
Television
Private television licensees generally must achieve a yearly Canadian
content level of at least 60 per cent overall, measured over the course of the
entire broadcast day, and at least 50 per cent between 6 p.m. and midnight.
The CBC, as the national broadcaster, must ensure that at least 60 per cent
of its program schedule between 6 a.m. and midnight consists of Canadian
productions. It must maintain the 60 per cent level over the course of the
broadcast day.
Evaluation of Canadian content in a television program is based on the
following criteria: whether its producer and key creative personnel are
Canadian; the amounts paid to Canadians for services provided to make the
program; and amounts spent in Canada on lab processing.
Broadcasters may also claim a 150 per cent time credit for Canadian
dramas which have a full Canadian complement in key creative roles, and
which meet certain scheduling criteria.

• What young people tend to say about Canada is
that it is a nation without a national identity, and
that makes it distinctive. And I think the reason
for that is that Canada is very unusual in the
sense that it is a country that contains a
defeated people who play a significant role, in
other words, French Canadians, who were
conquered, nonetheless survived in a way that
in the States has no equivalent .

• When I'm in Canada, I feel like this is what the world should be
like.
Jane Fonda, actress, Saturday Night, Dec 1987
• It's going to be a great country when they finish unpacking it.
Andrew H. Malcolm, Canadian Correspondent for The NY
Times,
Quoted in The Toronto Star 5 Nov 1989
• When I would get worried is when the Americans do become
interested in us. And I think of the countries they have become
interested in, I think of Chile, I think of Iran, I think of Vietnam, It
think of Grenada, I think of Nicaragua, and I think of Libya, so I
say, Let's keep that ignorance flying.
Allan Fotheringham, Columnist and author, address, Empire
Club of Canada, Toronto 16 Oct 1986
