I appreciate the Minister’s enthusiasm. I think everyone in the Northwest Territories shares that enthusiasm. If we’re truly going to support the business of professional filmmaking in the NWT, we need to start treating this as a business. The GNWT needs to look at the proper infrastructure and the proper investments to help offset the very expensive budget costs of bringing film crews, bringing equipment and production into the Northwest Territories.
What are the Minister’s specific actions that he’ll be undertaking with himself and his department to deal with these so-called costs to the professional, national and international filmmakers?
