be an item of exoort in their trade Instead of being solely on import from Hollywood This argument and ill solu tlon equally apply to Cnnoda Yet no Hollywood star has ever sought to rent TorontosCese Lorna or any other stately home in Canada because there has never been government drive to create film industry In Canada although we are now the third largest market in the world in view of our huge

feature films of those 300 came from US lerom France 01 from ltaiy 60 from Britain and lesser numbers from West Germany Greece Japan Hungary Russia Spain Sweden Australia and Poland Only one of those 055 films was made in Canodaf Currently the proportion of films seen on our television and cinema screens which are made in UsA would be much lower owing to the expansion of the film industries in other coun lri excluding Canada The significance of this is ob visits The Canadian culture which our government is striv in to buier up through Ca nadian television programs and Canadian magazines is
