HALIFAX – The Nova Scotia government says talks will continue today with representatives from the film industry about proposed cuts to a 24 million dollar tax credit.
The industry expressed optimism a compromise will be struck soon with the provincial government following a meeting yesterday.
The group met for more than four hours with officials from the Finance Department.
It was the third session of head-to-head talks in about a week.
Screen Nova Scotia chairman Marc Almon says the latest talks were constructive, but he wouldn’t release details of what was discussed.
Finance Minister Diana Whalen, who was not at yesterday’s meeting, says she understood that “good progress” was made.
The industry has said a move to reduce the tax credit to 6 million dollars beginning July 1st will drive business away from the province.
