Is this the "Saskatchewan Advantage'? Other areas of the economy have benefited from tax credits why not this one? In the over all budget it really isn't a lot of money saved.

Very short-sighted.

My family has been involved for years with arts an culture in the provincepromoting sports,govt.education and charities. If Sask. wants to call itself a "Have" province, it needs to "Help",not "Squelch" the arts and culture industry in our province.

attention short sighted political people. wake up. shooting yourself in the foot you are if this proceeds.

This will hurt the entire creative community and small business in this province.

The arts and music is what keep people alive. Bring awareness and bring people together. Are you serious?????

time to stand up and support culture

In today's economics, a 6 to 1 return on the dollar should be incentive enough. Maybe a series about the oil or potash industries would enlighten you.

As a music and drama teacher in Saskatchewan, it's sad to see the opportunities for young people slip away at the hands of a greedy government.

A world without art would be a sad sad place to be.

Arts & Music are a vital part of our community. This will hurt the future of creativity in Saskatchewan.

Deserts grow from a grain of sand. By removing the SFETC, we are blowing the sands of a cultural desert over Saskatchewan.

My brother is in the film industry!

This action is a backwards step for Saskatchewan, both artistically and economically. It is an outrageous silencing of so many people who believe wholeheartedly in the originality of our province, and express our views with such energy and integrity.

Please do not kill Saskatchewan's film culture!

Losing SCN was bad enough! This cut is totally unnecessary in a burgeoning economy, especially in such an artsrich province like ours!

I have friends that work in this industry, and you are literally cutting off their means of financial stability. Oh well... more people on welfare is better then supporting our arts I guess?!?!

We need to support these opportunities for film production in Saskatchewan. Our support now will pay off in many ways. It's no time to go backwards!

Justin Ludwig:

The film tax credit is not a taxpayer handout, it is program that is intrinsic to the mechanics of getting any film or TV show financed, and as such every province in Canada and state in the USA has a similar program.

Once a production is financed, it is like a money bomb of local spending. Every one of these businesses will be hurt by the death of the industry in Saskatchewan: print shops, fabric stores, restaurants, hotels, car rental dealerships, thrift stores, hardware shops, furniture stores, wrecking yards, medical suppliers, caterers, retail clothing stores, antique malls, vehicle detailers, sign makers, bars, graphic designers, art supply stores, tailors, novelty shops, and even the cities of Regina and Saskatoon themselves, who make money off of everything from location fees to parking signs.

One does not need to be an economist to understand the fundamental incompetence behind the decision to cut the tax credit.

this will cause lost jobs and lost spin offs for our province. Please reconsider

It's a sad statement by our government with the cut of the tax credit. My company that brings outside dollars into this province would have not been possible without the influence of the tax credit.

Cutting the tax credit is wrong and detrimental to the culture

This program keeps the film and television industry alive in this province - don't destroy it!

We should be creating more jobs not cutting out entire sectors of jobs

I had been aware of the Alberta subsidized film industry for many years before we had a film industry in Saskatchewan. We (Saskatchewan) were just getting started. Without the subsidy, we will never have the chance

Alberta's industry has grown since then,

What is wrong with the Sask Party???

We need to keep this industry and people in this province.

Please support artists.
