Cam Broden is promising more money for the arts in Saskatchewan. Free pencils for artists, so they can draw unemployment and welfare. The article mentions ''La Troupe du jour,'' a Francophone group based in Saskatoon. Anyone dare to contact their Federal MP and find out how much they're already getting from the feds in Ottawa??
The Saskatchewan NDP is reinforcing their promise that, if elected, they would boost funding to the province's arts industry.
NDP leader Cam Broten repeated the pledge at La Troupe Du Jour in Saskatoon on Thursday night. He said the Saskatchewan Party should recognize that cancelling the film tax credit in 2012 was a mistake.
"The need to better diversify our economy, the need to provide opportunity for our young people, the need to celebrate who we are as Saskatchewan people, to celebrate our stories, and the need to share them, not only with the people of the province, but around the world," Broten said.
He said, if elected, the NDP would restore a film employment tax credit and boost funding for other cultural industries by 50 per cent. The funding increase would invest $3 million more over four years in addition to the funding available through the tax credit.
