No, because the Canada Council subsidizes creation; it directly subsidizes the artists and the creation of works. It's somewhat the same thing in Quebec. The artists are subsidized by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, whereas the presenters are directly subsidized by the Ministry of Culture. The jurisdictions are different, and the funding sources are different. Some Canada Council programs can sometimes provide indirect assistance to, for example, home bases for shows that will be produced by multidisciplinary presenters. In general, the funding that supports programming on the premises of multidisciplinary presenters comes from the programs of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
