What makes civilizations great and memorable? Arts. What makes life interesting? Arts and culture.

As a current film student, my future is bleak without this tax credit.

All along the stats say it has been mostly revenue neutral with regard to gov't money and has brought in more to local businesses, hotels, etc.What's not to like about that?

We all make mistakes. Thankfully this one should be pretty easy to reverse. Thanks in advance for that!

This budget must not be approved.

Cutting this Tax Credit is a bad for Saskatchewan!!! Please reconsider.

I'm freshly out of university with my degree in film, hoping to make a career in my home province. Now I have to move elsewhere? What kind of a message is that sending to young people of this province???

yet another black cloud above Saskatchewan! Please don't say there are endless opportunities in Saskatchewan because that would be a lie! This is a serious mistake. Now you are handing other provinces money and residents, great thinking Sask!!!

I think the misinformation is that the general public thinks that the film industry is being propped up. But this is a tax incentive to entice film projects internationally to Saskatchewan to inject money into the province. How can this be a bad thing?

It’s absolutely frustrating when GOV decides to cut back on the arts & culture, education and family & community initiatives FIRST before anything else. These are where the fabric of our values stem from. Without unified local, national and global support for these platforms … it’s no wonder the world is in such a fragmented state. You have my support!

A misinformed decision and one that must be reversed.

Tax dollars go to many private sectors. What makes the film industry any less important? This action will adversely affect many people and is not the action of a government I can respect.

This is less about the "real" numbers then it is about real estate. This government is not telling us the truth and we should all demand to know what their designs are for the Sound Stage, the film commission, and it's design for supporting our industry!

Making Saskatchewan the only province with no tax credit support will mean we lose that Saskatchewan Advantage. We lose jobs, we lose money, and we lose one more place for bright young minds to stay. We lose businesses, and families that will have to move away.
These are small businesses, entrepreneurs with employees and long ties to our communities.

I have to say that the provincial tax credit system limited my ability to work in other provinces in Canada. It forced me to choose a province that would give me my best chance of employment. I would rather see a national credit so that Canadian film workers could work anywhere in Canada. I realize unfortunately that would mean that we would be in the hands of the anti-culture conservatives in Ottawa as opposed to the anti-culture conservatives in Regina. The reason Saskatchewan should keep the tax credit system is that every other jurisdiction that has one has one for a reason. The film tax credits are a sound financial investment for the Province. I suspect the Sask Party government made an ideological decision and are now trying to justify it as a financial decision. As if they know better than those silly governments in NF,NS,NB,PQ,ON,MB,AB,BC& YK.

Its actions like this that will make my husband and I reconsider our vote next election. Get with it SaskParty, and allow artists like myself to have some sort of pride in our government's support of the arts.

I heart Saskatchewan. Please don't take out the art. Without it, I he Saskatchewan. And that makes no sense grammatical or otherwise.

I simply think it is sad that in a time of "prosperity" our government is sending a clear message that it does not value the many creative minds that call this province home. Time to invest in people!

Cutting this film incentive is not just short-sighted... it's backward. It will make SK the ONLY place in Canada that isn't able to compete in this industry and more young people will leave. Let tax payers see the real numbers.
