APPENDIX 3
Cultural Policy Support
(April 1997)
Canadian culture is a mirror which reflects the lives, histories and
identities of Canadians. Because of the importance of culture in nation
building, trade, employment and tourism, governments have created a series
of measures which have tried, with varying success, to nurture, promote
and protect Canadian culture. These measures broadly include the creation
of public services and institutions such as the CBC, direct funding, financial
or investment incentives, levies, Canadian ownership rules, Canadian content
requirements, legislated rights and international trade and production
agreements. This Appendix consists of four tables which outline the main
federal support measures initiated for culture. The tables provide an inventory
of existing measures and a comparative summary of the different policy
approaches across the cultural field.
