Great. Thank you so much. Since we only have six minutes, and not seven minutes, I'll try to speak a little quickly.
First, we had three phenomenal presentations. Thank you so much.
My first question is going to be directed to the Canadian Arts Coalition. Hi, Kate. Thanks for joining us. I'm from downtown Toronto. Cultural hubs are very much organically started, and one of the things I loved about today is that we saw the breadth of different cultural hubs that exist out there, and they very much fit the communities or the needs of their local areas, and I love that.
My question is this. How do we, as a government, get out of the way to allow for this organic development of hubs? We need to make sure we're out of the way to allow them to happen. My whole area has completely evolved because the artists got together and started their own development of the area; but then how can we be there to support its continued development once it's actually been formed? It's a bit of a case of “get out of the way to allow for it, but then be there when they actually need us to be there.”
Another aspect is this. I'm always very city oriented, but this country's large. We have a lot of small cities, and we have a lot of rural areas. How would your response differ for any of those areas?
Maybe I would just get either Frédéric or Kate to respond to that, and then I have a very specific question for Ms. Engle.
