Julie Snyder "abandons" television production

Television host and producer Julie Snyder becomes emotional as she explains that she must give up her television productions to other capable hands during a press conference to announce that she is "abandoning" television production at the Productions J offices in Montreal on Monday, June 29, 2015. Snyder said it's necessary for her to abandon television production because the Quebec government is refusing to give tax credits to her production company due to her relationship with Parti Quebecois leader Pierre-Karl Peladeau, who owns part of Quebecor Inc., which in turn owns TVA television, the main client for Productions J.
