OTTAWA – Canadian Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly will once again return to Prime Time in Ottawa (PTiO) for a sit down with CMPA president and CEO Reynolds Mastin on the state of the Canadian screen-based industries.

This will mark the third time that Minister Joly has attended the annual confab.  The 23nd edition of PTiO will take place January 31 to February 2, 2018 at The Westin Ottawa.

“Canadians are fiercely proud of our creators and creative industry professionals,” said Minister Joly, in a statement.  “I am delighted to join industry leaders here at Prime Time to discuss how we can ensure that our screen-based industries continue to succeed at home and around the world. Through Creative Canada, the first-ever federal strategy to grow Canada’s creative industries, our government will support our artists and creators in doing what they do best: telling our stories and bringing our culture to life.”
