Whereas:

  • The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) plays a leading role in communications between the government and the Canadian people.
  • The NFB has done excellent work in interpreting Canadian culture and identity to both domestic and international audiences.
  • The NFB has earned international recognition for its contributions to film and media.

The National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC) expresses deep concern to the Government of Canada regarding the negative impact of the austerity program on the existence and future development of the National Film Board. The NCWC urges the government to seriously reconsider these funding cuts to protect the NFB’s role in Canadian culture and communications.
