Sigh... "SASKATCHEWAN Step Dogs, a family movie starring Dylan Schmid (Once Upon a Time) and directed by Geoff Anderson, was one of the last local productions to tap the 45 percent Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit, which the province rescinded in 2012 to help balance its budget. Despite protests from actors such as Wes Bentley and Kim Coates to restore its production subsidy, Saskatchewan said it wanted out of the race to woo big-budget Hollywood film and TV shoots. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall eventually introduced a replacement, nonrefundable 25 percent tax incentive, but local producers declared it useless and quickly started picking up stakes and moving to Vancouver or Toronto, where generous refundable tax credits still are available."
