This is a creative province Mr.Wall, but you are making it a backward province with this move.

Saskatchewan is supposed to be growing into a have province. Don't destroy an entire industry and drive hard working people away!!

YOU ARE MOVING IN THE WRONG DIRECTON!!!

The removal of this tax credit is petty, mean-spirited and in terms of $ saved to the gov't ... negligable. This move has given me reason to reconsider both my support of the party and my financial support. THIS IS NOT The Saskatchewan Advantage.

Professionals from the film industry have volunteered their time and equipment, acting as mentors for many fourth year film students. Only truly dedicated professionals would volunteer their time to enrich the learning of future film makers.

The reason why this countries film industry has never been able to break through that glass ceiling is because of moves like this. The powers that be have never given anything a chance to expand and now to shut it down completely? That is unacceptable for

During my time working at Cosmicpad Music Studios, Ross was writing music for Wapos Bay, a claymation television series that takes a humorous look at aboriginal life featuring positive role models for children. In my opinion my Dad’s greatest work as a film producer and writer is Rabbit Fall which got me excited and interested in Native Canadian stories and culture with a supernatural thriller twist. He’s also done great work promoting aboriginal fashion designers. Whether you think Corner Gas is funny or not, the Sask Party’s decision to eliminate the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit is about Saskatchewan storytellers. This will kill the film industry in Saskatchewan and silence the storytellers’ voice.

The Sask Party knows that this is losing jobs and economic stimulus for Saskatchewan. The NDP supports it and so they oppose it; the motive is ideological.

Do not pass this it shall affect our industry severly.

We have so many talented and innovative artists and technicians who are able to stay in our province because of these tax credits. Please reinstate them, and stop the brain drain.
2781Dave Mylrea
keep the film tax credit
2782darcy baranosky
this sends the wrong message to Saskatchewan and the rest of the country.In great economic times we should be encouraging the arts in all of its components.

We have a Film and Video Production program at the University of Regina, in Saskatchewan, and we are cutting the very lifeline for these students? Keep the SFETC.

How does cutting thousands of jobs promote "economic growth"?
2787David Henneberg
2788Michael Stonehouse
I think this is unfair. what is going to happen with all these people and their families?

We don't want to lose these talented people, they will be forced to move elsewhere. We need to keep them here.
2791Douglas Casimel
We found the money. Just switch these (oil and gas industry) subsidies back to the film and television industry. "http://www.behindthenumbers.ca/2012/03/23/brad-walls-wonderful-world-of-laissez-faire/"

It's not a subsidy, it's an investment with a good return.
2795Jennifer Yim
Professional film makers and crews are now unemployed in a province that is thriving. This is so unfair.
2796Greg Mrazek
In the future, when the Saskatchewan Government spends taxpayer dollars to film its TV commercials about Saskatchewan they are going to have to go Alberta to do it. Creating jobs in Alberta with Sask. taxpayer money? Does this make economic sense ????????
2797Adrian
This credit is one of the best way's to get Saskatchewan seen globally. What where you actually thinking of removing this? And why did you try to lead us to believe that it cost the taxpayers, when they return so much revenue back.
