6751 | Marcus Miller | Killing the Tax Credit opts Saskatchewan out. When most other provinces and states offer tax incentives to filmmakers, where is the Saskatchewan Advantage? Now is the time to augment all innovative arts programs. It doesn’t take rocket science to see the clear advantages to having a film production set up in town – putting people to work, coddling creative, entrepreneurial businesses – to say nothing of the heart of it all - telling stories, telling our stories – being players in the global conversation. |

6757 | Shelly Balbar | We all make poor decisions at one time or another. We learn. We try to make things right. We know decisions can be changed. This is one of the ones that should be. It does not make economic sense to eliminate the SFETC... we should increase it. |
6758 | Melanie Thomas | We all want a stronger Saskatchewan. To achieve this we need strong, growing industries in the province. The government needs to re-look at the numbers and they'll see how the film and television industry financially is a strong investment. |

6761 | Norm Grayston | This action must be rescinded. |
6762 | Tracy Kroeker | BC was going to do it and it killed the film industry just at the very mention of it. Dont do it |

6768 | Silvia Martini | It's a tax credit and not an expense. The positive spin off in economic activity from this industry to Saskatchewan is significant. Please reconsider! |

6772 | Amanda Schulz | Don't do it...people who are into the arts need to have something too. Not everyone can be good at sports. |

6776 | Tim VanPinxteren | I think of all the students at the U of R taking fine arts and movie production. Where will they work when school is over? Not in Saskatchewan if this tax credit ends. |

6778 | Colan Yaworski | My brother and sister-in-law are both in the film industry. This decision destroys the film industry in Saskatchewan. Oil and potash and agriculture are good things. But film is good too. |

6781 | Melody Fauteux-Scott | Ending the SFETC puts an end to grass roots of film works, job creation, and endless economic spin-offs. |
6782 | Steve Gravestock | Having seen how the tax credit has helped the film industry in Saskatchewan I can't say this is a far-sighted or prudent decision. |
6783 | Ryan Elsom | |
6784 | Bill Barkaie | amazing how there are some who only see the 55% not coming in - but don't realize the 45% also not coming in.. |

6788 | Shaun MacDougall | how do we express ourselves without the arts? When it was suggested to Winston Churchill that he cut funding to the arts to pay for the fight in WWII, he said "Then what would we be fighting for?" there is controversy whether or not he actually said it - however, the sentiment is true

6792 | Toula Yanko | Does the government not realize the Sask income tax they are loosing from the millions of dollars in salaries that are paid out in this industry. Sure they give out tax credits to the industry employers but they get it all back and more from the workers. |
6793 | Kim Bell | |
6794 | Kevin Kraft | |
6795 | John Shelling | |
6796 | Julie Paquette | The film industry in Saskatchewan has brought in a lot of revenue and created jobs. Please give them the tax credit, as this decision makes the provincial government look more like Harper's ideologically driven bullies. |

6800 | Lynn M. Tarzwell | Don't let all that incredible Saskatchewan talent bleed away to other provinces with a credit or the U.S.! |
