I tend to have to disagree a little bit here with the Minister. If we wanted to work more expeditiously, these type of questions, if you go back to Hansard, these have been asked over two years ago, and we’re only seeing this now, almost year three into our term here. I agree, the website that was designed for potential film industry executives to use is a good tool, but three years later we’re only now starting to think about investing into a rebate program.
I’m a bit disappointed only because the film industry is very nomadic and if you don’t do things to react more intensively, you notice that other regions in Canada who have not reacted have now lost that industry. I’ll use Saskatchewan, for example, as a classic example. We have a golden opportunity. We have a number of reality shows. We’ve just had another one recently announced here in the South Slave and in the Hay River area. Again, I’m asking, and I’m asking the Minister here to work with his counterparts, with ECE, if this is exactly what the industry is asking for, let’s put some cultural film experts, programs into our Aurora College. Let’s graduate some of these students. Let’s get them to have jobs. Let’s get them to represent the Northwest Territories. Let’s get them in Vancouver. Let’s get them in Los Angeles. Will the Minister commit beyond this $100,000 to do this in this fiscal year?
