Absolutely. Actually, over the years, and especially over the last two years, we created a system at Canada Council where people could apply. Their demands are assessed, and we support their demands on a merit basis. However, we also make sure that we calibrate the level of success from one region to another in order to make sure that no matter where they are from, and no matter what they do, they need to have the same fair chance of getting support from the Canada Council.
I'm very pleased to say that over the last years we maintained a national success rate that was more or less equal across the country.
So, yes, it has been a good period for supporting more artists, and especially independent artists. Frankly, they are absolutely vital to the quality and the future of our sector.
