Dear Honourable Prime Minister Harper, and Honourable Minister Verner,
I write with extreme concern about the proposed Bill C-10, and the ways that it would enable de facto government censorship of film and television.
According to a story in the Globe and Mail:
Bill C-10, currently at third reading in the Senate, contains an amendment to the Income Tax Act which would allow the Minister of Canadian Heritage to deny eligibility to tax credits of productions determined to be contrary to public policy,â
im still reading through all the messages you guys are leaving and honestly it is wild to see how many people are worried about this bill. i have been reaching out to a few people in the industry to try and get some traction on this and will let you know if i hear anything back.
November 9, 2011
im honestly blown away by how much this has taken off lately. seeing so many people push back against this bill makes me feel like we actually have a shot at stopping it.
