Similarly, the total number of projects declined since 2005/06, but levels did increase<br />

somewhat in 2008/09 and 2009/10. By 2010/11, the total number of documentary projects<br />

had decreased by 28% since 2005/06. Total hours of documentary production fluctuated<br />

from 2005/06-2009/10, peaking in 2008/09 but declining overall by 13% from 2005/06<br />

to 2010/11. By 2010/11, both the total number of documentary projects and total hours<br />

dropped to a 10-year low.<br />

Since 2005/06, the total number of projects declined more significantly than the total<br />

volume of documentary production, indicating that fewer projects were being produced.<br />

At the same time, the total number of hours declined less dramatically than production<br />

volume, suggesting that French-language documentary producers were doing more hours<br />

per project, albeit with less financing. This data contrasts with that of the English-language<br />

market. In Ontario, English-language production in 2010/11 equaled 477 hours for 121<br />

projects at budgets of $152 million. By contrast, Quebec French-language production<br />

equaled 502 hours for 121 projects with total budgets of $67 million.<br />
