In a motion to prevent U.S. film productions from shooting in Canada, the Film and Television Action Committee (FTAC), a Hollywood organization, has filed a petition against Canada with the U.S. Trade Representatives. The FTAC says Canadian subsidies are unfairly luring productions away from the U.S.

Enter ACTRA, The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists. “We will fight this attack on Canada’s film industry and insist on the right to provide support to our industry” stated Richard Hardacre, ACTRA National President.

The article points out that the FTAC’s complaint is unwarranted and will definitely not be approved under any trade agreement.
