Just days after being appointed to their new jobs, three members of the British Columbia government are off to California to promote the province as a hot spot for film production.

Spencer Chandra Herbert, minister of tourism, arts, culture and sport, says in a statement that they want to bring the"biggest productions" to the province, allowing talent in B.C. to continue with work that comes"with a good pay cheque."

The B.C. government currently offers a 28 per cent production services credit to both domestic and foreign film and TV producers, and Premier David Eby pledged to increase the credits to 36 per cent during his election campaign. A joint statement from the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Tourism says the timing of the government visit is crucial since it will offer studio decision-makers the information they need for production planning.
