Policy and advocacy
The CMPA advocates for Canada’s independent producers, helping to shape policies that will support the vitality of our industry.

As the face of Canada’s independent media production industry, the CMPA works to promote the value of our sector to federal and provincial governments.
We regularly meet with government officials to advocate on critical issues to our industry, such as broadcasting, funding, copyright, taxation and trade. We participate in government consultations, appear before parliamentary committees, and undertake research to help government make informed decisions. To find past submissions to the federal government, go to our resource library and select the category “government submissions.”
The CMPA also regularly meets and communicates with elected officials, political staff and senior officials in government departments such as Canadian Heritage, Finance Canada, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
We also engage with Telefilm Canada , the Canada Media Fund, the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO) and provincial funding bodies on the funding of Canadian content.
