Maybe three or four years ago, the Canada Council for the Arts, whose representatives you heard just before me, allowed artists to spread their fellowships over a maximum of two years, based on progress on their projects. For example, if they receive a fellowship of $40,000, they can decide to receive an initial payment of $10,000 in the first year and a second of $30,000 in the second year.
