Section 8
Disposition versions

Full text
8. The Government, if it considers that suitable market outlets for Québec films are unduly restricted in Québec, may, by regulation, require the owners and operators of moving picture theatres and outdoor theatres to include Québec films in their programming, in such proportion and at such time as it indicates.
That proportion may vary depending on the region or locality, the audience, and the class of the film, moving picture theatre or outdoor theatre concerned.
The Institut shall establish, without the intervention of any court, the losses or revenue incurred by owners and operators as a direct result of the application of this section, and compensate them from the fund entrusted to it by the Government.
