Public Affairs Branch (PAB) of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada produces approximately 130 original videos and podcasts per year.

These videos typically range in length from one to five minutes and require one or more voices. The podcasts episodes are typically 20 to 30 minutes long and usually consist of one or two interviewees. Voice services are sometimes required for voice-overs (dubs) of the interviewees.
Although it may vary from year to year, approximately 70% of the work in this contract entails the recording of voice talent in French. The remainder of the work is English.
