Treaty Co-Production– French-language<br />
French-language treaty co-productions for television documentaries seem to vary greatly<br />
depending on the year, with only four projects being produced in 2010, but nine projects the<br />
year before.<br />
The following treaty co-production data was provided directly by Telefilm Canada; therefore,<br />
these totals are not included in the previous charts.<br />

Independent Documentary Production in Languages<br />
Other than English and French<br />
Documentary production in languages other than English and French has been in serious<br />
decline since 2005/06. The high of $21 million in production volume in 2005/06 has<br />
dwindled to $2 million by 2010/11. Similarly, the number of projects and total hours declined<br />
radically, with only five projects being produced for a total of seven hours of production in<br />
2010/11—the lowest level for this documentary production across the 10 years of data.<br />
