A new petition is calling on the Saskatchewan government to reinstate the film tax credit and bring a major industry back to the province. Alyson Ford started a petition to bring the film tax credit back to Saskatchewan. (Submitted by Alyson Ford)Ford said reinstating the film tax credit would make good economic sense, citing a study commissioned by the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce and Sask Film in 2012. "In 2012, we made the difficult decision to end the refundable tax credit, which acted essentially like a grant," he said. Regina cinematographer Layton Burton says he doesn't see a future for the film industry in Saskatchewan without a film tax credit.
