Save the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit
The tax credit brings investments into the province:
- In 14 years $100 million of investments has generated $623 million in production revenue for the province.
- The film industry created 1200 jobs in 2009/10 alone.
- It\'s not money out, it\'s money in.
- Don\'t eliminate the SFETC!
"Every dollar of tax incentive for the film industry returned six dollars in economic activity," Steve Wells, Ph.D. & Clyde Posey, Ph.D.

If they can't make a living here, they will move away and not come back. Do you want a province with NO ARTISTS? | | 8507 | William Bartley | Please reconsider this decision. The benefits of the credit (it's not a grant)far outweigh the costs. | | 8506 | Eileen Lampard | | | 8505 | Robin Clark | The easiest thing in the world to do is to convince a redneck that funding the arts is a waste of money.
