WHO WE ARE

The Quebec English-language Production Council (QEPC) represents the English-language production industry in Quebec. English production supports the Quebec production infrastructure. It is a net importer of capital and a major exporter of programming to markets outside Quebec.

Our goals & mission

Our goal is to increase English-language production, and production funding in Quebec.

Fifteen years ago our industry was producing $300 million per year in films and television. We then saw a steady decline in production until four years ago when we hit bottom, producing only $165 million in English-language programming, or about 25% of total domestic Quebec production.

Our members banded together to reverse that decline. Through research and strategic lobbying, we made significant changes. We were able to increase the provincial tax credit, increase federal funding across the board, and create minimum English-Quebec requirements among broadcasters.

Our membership system is a tier-based system, which is calculated based on whether the applicant is an individual or corporation, and the annual fee is based on how much revenue is made annually at each specific corporation, making our membership accessible to a variety of different producers, from emerging to seniors.
