The film industry is a vital part of our artistic culture, and it provides lots of spill off to the local economy.
1402Kim Gaspar
Eliminating the tax credit puts the Saskatchewan film industry on an uneven footing with the rest of Canada, and will further hurt both the film industry and the Saskatchewan economy. Please re-instate the credit.

Brad Wall has sent a resounding message that he does not value the economic role that artists play in the growth of our province. He also fails to recognize the cultural importance that film, and the creative community, has in recognizing and expressing the rich cultural diversity of the people that have built this province.

We need this type of industry to attract and keep people here.
1411Sonia Buckmaster
This was a tax creidt--not a payout. It didn't cost the government anything and they did get income from the money spent in the province by those doing the filming here and working here. I think they need to hire new bean counters!
1412Susan Wall
Keep Saskatchewan talent in Saskatchewan.
1413Rowan Pantel
Our economy benefits from having the people employed by the film industry live here and spend their money. The film industry also employs many young people who would otherwise be leaving the province to pursue their careers.

We just had a film done in Dundurn which I thought was steller that a company from saskatoon would use our town to film the movie Rufus. the film buisness keeps our lives moving and well I do not understand the thinking of these cuts.

I have been in preliminary negotiations to bring a feature film production to Saskatchewan. The SFETC was integral to the discussion; there will now be no further negotiations, period. Change is often needed, but this move is a mystery.

Culture is paramount and must be supported in every way possible.
1418Cara Carter
Amazing programming is created in Sask and employs our people. This move leads to job losses. Please reevaluate and reinstate the tax credit.

This makes no sense... on any level. In your eyes is the province simply drawers of water and hewers of wood? You give over 600 million to Oil & Gas!!! A profit bloated industry and you cannot give 8 million to save an entire industry?The se are not arts-f

Knowing who we are and what we have to offer is an important part of growing the province. Silencing and eliminating our storytellers at the expense of taxpayers is not the answer.

This wil result in many lost jobs & or businesses in the local community, the film industry supports community first in dollar and cents, what is left over has far reaching effects. Culture is the heart of who we are as a people.
1423Laurie Petroski
You really aren't fooling any one. It's not about saving the tax credit - you hand out employment subsidies to mining and oil companies constantly. Keep an open mind - help us show off our beautiful province and it's talent.

I'm happy to have paid taxes on income I earned on productions such as: Insecurity, Little Mosque on the Prairies, Vampire Dog, Crime Stories, Lullaby for Pi and locally produced commercials. Please don't squander this critical cultural currency!

I recently moved to Saskatchewan partly because of this province's support of Arts and Culture. This decision to eliminate the tax credit for film is a great disappointment.
1443jodi payant
Taking this tax credit away makes no sense. You know very well that the credit was an investment in this industry and it created jobs. So I believe you don't like people in the film industry do you? I do not approve of this budget.Replace the film tax cre

Why bother creating incentives to stay in the province after graduating if you go and do things like this??
