I wanted to post this in a thread that tends to get a bit more traffic from a broader group of people.
I'm posting it without comment because I really dont know and am hoping someone can help clarify, but the background information is that this is a paragraph from a Good-Bye letter from Anson Mount the main character from AMC's
'Hell on Wheels' that has been filming in Calgary for the past 5-6(?) years.

To be sure, Alberta offers something unique in the world of film production. But that does not mean that such individuality trumps the bottom line in any industry. The new TV Series cap limit on Alberta Media Fund’s production grant is threatening to severely limit, if not outright halt, the potential boon that your local industry has been working toward for so long. At its current level, it is only competitive in attracting lower mid-level film budgets and below. Add to this the inexplicable continuation of the previous administration’s non-bifurcation policies — disallowing television series to participate in Alberta film funds for multiple seasons — and the likelihood of Calgary attracting new series is almost nil.
