September Update from FilmOntario, September 26, 2016

New Ministerial Mandate Letter Cites Stable Tax Credit Infrastructure
Last Friday, the Government of Ontario released the Ministerial mandate letters for the new session of the Legislature.

FilmOntario was extremely pleased to see that the following priority was included for the Honourable Eleanor McMahon, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport:

"Building on the best year on record for film and TV, market our talented film crews, world-class facilities, and stable tax credit infrastructure to the world."

As you know, FilmOntario has been working very hard to obtain a statement of stability on Tax Credits from the provincial government. We welcome this encouraging signal from the Premier’s Office and will continue to work with the Minister McMahon and her team to promote Ontario’s screen-based industries at home and abroad.

You can read the full Ministerial mandate letter here.
