Toronto Mayor John Sewell said recently that Canada has become the third largest movie production centre after Log Angeles and

‘New York.

Other stars coming or who have just left are: Richard Burton, Ann-Margret, Elliott Gould, Shirley MacLaine, Richard Harris, Ellen Burstyn, Sally Kellerman, Tatum O'Neal and’ George

Making movies is great for Toronto businesses and there are always lots of jobs for extras. Cab driver Karl Goodman's yellow Checker cab is in demand to give Toronto film locations a U.S: atmosphere. He’s done three movies in the Jast three months. .

Toronto boutiques and restaurants are cashing in on. celebrity catering.

Other businesses such as - Sandra McDonald's shop- ‘ping and accommedation services for visiting stars have sprung up. overnight.

QUEBEC (CP) -— The: Public Service Alliance of Canada,: once a sleeping giant, heads into its national policy convention today ‘rowed and angry about federal government plans to reduce the size of the public service.

Delegates to the con- yention, which ends Friday, will decide what approach to take with the new Progressive Conservative

attitude of consultation and -

co-operation as a means to avoid conflict.”

But the union must be pre- ‘pared for conflict if the government moves ahead with measures that will

" gdversely affect public

servants, he said in a measage to members.

The alliance has become militant in recent years, jolted into action by the previous Liberal govern- Mient’s plan to restrain public-sector wage in- creases. Public servants became more politically active and worked for, the defeat of the - Liberal government,

Michael MeCabe, executive director of the Canadian Film Development’ Corp. which has . been financing movies for 11 years, says Canada could be

At the Cannes Film Festival, Canadian

producers racked up #1 Pte in film sales com-

pared to $3 million last year. Why has Canada become so lucrative for film

‘producers? ‘

There are several reasons, including 4 100-per-cent tax writeoff.

Co-production treaties have been aligned with Britain, Italy, France, Israel and West Germany. The 15- ~ per-cent drop in the Canadian dollar makes Can- ada attractive to U.S. film companies. Brokerage companies in partnership with producers are selling investments to the public. And endorsements from the .

Ontario securities com-

mission are giving added protection. .

McCabe says more than $100-million worth af Canadian-produced movies will be made this year.
