The Alberta government has stated that it will be increasing its investment in the film and television industries. According to Doug Schweitzer, Alberta’s Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation, “the film business in Alberta has increased by two orders of magnitude, and it is now one of the fastest-growing industries in the province.” The province has set aside $70 million for the Film and Television Tax Credit Program. The long-term aim is to grow the film sector by $1.5 billion over the next decade.
