content regulations introduced in 1971 for radio — now 30
per cent for AM stations and between seven and 30 per cent
for FM outlets. Even though there was a 22-per-cent
decrease in the release of English domestic records and a
54-per-cent drop in the release of French Canadian
recordings between 1979 and 1983, the government says
“continued commitment to minimum levels . . . is unques-

paper says the future of Canadian music production “lies in
the hands of the Canadian-owned independent labels for the
simple reason that these companies are largely dependent
on their success with Canadian recording artists to remain in

business.”

Brian Robertson, president of the Canadian Recording
Industry Association, a trade group representing both
Canadian and foreign firms, isn’t pleased that multinationals
are largely ignored in the federal plan. But he generally
welcomes the government's efforts.

Still, Robertson finds that the funding proposals may

not solve the problems.

_ “We believe it’s important that funding motivate
quality instead of quality,” he says. “We are not looking

simply for handouts.”
