threat to film tax credits

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/02/28/film-tax-credits.html?ref=rsss

Suppose you have a humorless bunch sitting around deciding who gets the blessing of credits, no matter whether a project is far along and the anticipated money is already spent or not.

This is a roll of the dice - get some government funding even from Telefilm, but there is no guarantee that the credit you budgeted for will be honored.

Just one more reason for someone on your team to say "Gee, maybe we'd better not go there."
Even if "there" is where you live and eek out a career in film: Canada.

In short it's a way for veryy conservative people who have nothing to do with the film industry to give their more liberal neighbors a kick in the shin and get away with it.
