VIDEO: Eby promises tax breaks to boost film industry

Speaks at Martini Town movie backlot in Aldergrove

NDP Leader David Eby promised an increase in the Production Services Tax Credit and Film Incentive BC refund to 36 percent to hire more BC film workers during a campaign stop at the Martini Town backlot in Aldergrove Saturday.

Eby said the increase will add 7,000 jobs by encouraging international productions to come here.

A self-contained New York-themed backlot set built in 2020 and operated by Langley's Martini Film Studios, the outdoor set occupies approximately six acres of a 17-acre site on 272nd Street

It was Eby's second visit to the Langley area since the  writ for the 43rd provincial general election was issued on Saturday, Sept. 21.
