Result:
Thanks to opposition of giving your tax dollars to produce films that are questionable content and of no value to the good of society the government has reviewed who gets funded. And Telefilm will be monitored no more closely.
We the TAXPAYERS are calling on the Senate to pass the legislation (C10) that closely assesses what productions receive tax monies.
Responsible government should not fund arts and culture projects that do not advance or enhance civilized Canadian culture.
Therefore we the undersigned TAXPAYERS:
-petition Canada's government to pass strong regulations with stringent requirements before any "arts" industry projects are given public funds;
-petition the Senate of Canada to act responsibly and pass the Bill C10 which passed Parliament and had passed second reading in the Senate already with no objection until a media story broke;
-petition government to ensure Telefilm Canada guidelines be reviewed and to ensure compliance with the regulations set out by the government of Canada;
-petition Parliament to apply the Auditor generals recommendation of the 2005 report for accountability and control of tax credit allowances.
