I was born and raised here. I attended University here in the hopes that I would and could build a career here within the arts industry.

Virtually every other industry within our province gets a subsidy of some kind...but apparently ours isn't important.
302Ward deBussac
I just don't understand how the tax credit costs the gov't money anyway. It's tax on money that otherwise wouldn't be here am I right?
If you could give 80% tax credit, you'd still profit 20% right? If I'm off on my numbers someone please clarify this

Cutting the tax credit for the film industry will be a definite hinderence in film progression & revenue in the province.
305Sara Longfellow
Having a tax credit does not make the industry unsustainable...it makes it competitive, just ask ALL the other provinces, 42 States (including California),and all film makers around the world! Reconsider this decision now and save our film industry!

What goog reasons do you have for robbing the film workers from there ooccupation, there creativity and the millions of dollars which the film industry bring to OUR PROVINCE!!!

This is a devasting state of affairs, that will impact more than "saving a few million dollars". Please see the big picture and your actions effect on Saskatchewan.
313Eric Wiebe
It's great that you want to drive more people out of the province. We're so crowded here in SK!
314Kristina Hughes
this decision discourages and disheartens me, and causes me to believe my government doesn't want me here. If this was their intention, I get the picture. If not, we need keep the credit. Period.
315Kyle Mrazek
I would like to think our government is about keeping jobs here not sending them away like their ads state. I love it here and dont feel like moving away..... do the right thing
316Gerad Cantin
Disappointing news but I have faith that the masses will turn this thing around. Tell everyone you know to sign this thing and get the message delivered!
317Marence Pierce
The film industry has put Saskatchewanwood on the World entertainment map! For the Movie industry and helps draw in other forms of entertainment! Like the 2013 Juno Awards! What other investment has the Province made that gives us those kind of returns!
318Karl Laframboise
Keep the Canadian film industry alive in Saskatchewan
319Charlotte Engel
As a Producer based in Ontario, I find this shocking. Without the tax credit, there is absolutely no incentive to film there (other than fab. people and lots of flat land). Seriously though, this is a very stupid move!

Entertainment is a commodity. The investment we were making in this commodity was paying off. Ending it makes zero sense.

I am a Film student at the U of R finishing my 3rd year. I have always wanted to stay in this province for work but now it appears I (like many others) will be forced out. Destroying an entire industry in a province is a very stupid move.

Without an artistic voice to speak for it, Saskatchewan is doomed to remain misunderstood and ill perceived by the rest of Canada.
328James Warnecke
329Nicholas Ansaldo
I am just starting post-secondary, and hope to one day work in this industry. I hope the government representing me might allow me to stay here rather than forcing me to leave.
330Stacey Caldwell
Film is a viable industry like potash, mining, and manufacturing! They receive subsidies/credits please do not kill our industry because it's not viewed the same way those others are!
331Elaine Bennett Fox
332Doug Smith
333Whitney Sauder
Keep people in this province, keep jobs, and bring in revenue. It seems pretty obvious to me why we need to keep this tax credit around!
334Ryley Konechny
The film and television industry in Saskatchewan is undoubtedly an asset to our province. The removal of this would be devastating and horrific to the everyone.

Keep the arts alive.

It is so important for Prairie governments to continue to support the local industry. The industry has been good to the people of Saskatchewan and the tax credit is essential to keep it vital and growing.
340Kailey Treen
341George Fayant
The film industry is an integral part of SK's cultural, economic and social fabric - save the SFETC!!!
342Richard
I voted for SP for a very long time but I think this cut is harmfull to our young ppl who will now have to leave the province to continue studies! This at a time your govnm want our young ppl to stay??
343Amanda Gardner
Reinstate the Film & TV Tax Credit!
344Jeff Burgess
345Jeannie Mah
The film industry BRINGS money to Sasakatchewan, as did SCN's film projects! What government in their right mind would eliminate this, especially in GOOD economic times??!! This is an embarrassing blunder, we are going backwards in this province.

347Stacey Tetreault
I know of three "hollywood" films that have shot here in the past 18 months!
The arts is a vital part of Saskatchewan, and thousands of people will be out of work!
