What we want to do is make sure that the success rate is equal. We want to make sure that anywhere in Canada—in Caraquet, Iqaluit, Montreal, Rimouski or Toronto—any artist applying to the Canada Council would have the same reasonable chance to get funding.
The rate of success is the successful applications relative to the number of applications that we get. At this point, I can say that the rate of success is absolutely comparable in Canada. Over the last three years, we did not make any significant shifts in terms of how the money is distributed on a regional basis. In fact, the only shift that happened was less than 1%.
I will conclude by saying that we are living in a very interesting moment right now. We are on target in terms of the goals we expressed and the investment targets that we released, explained and published three years ago.
