Again, the north is a very diverse place, and so Nunavut is very different from the Yukon. Just in the Yukon, yes, I think there's lots of development, lots of business opportunities associated with arts and culture, but it has come with a great investment by the Yukon government. The Yukon government has put a lot of money into every form of the arts: music, writing, visual arts, performing arts. We have an arts centre here and we just celebrated its 20th anniversary. I think we have the highest per capita funding for arts in Canada. We are very active.
The Yukon Chamber of Commerce actually supports the arts through a branding program. They can come into our office and pick up all the bags, the brands, the tags, everything for promoting and marketing, and retailing their art products for the visual arts and music. Our Yukon government provides money for exporting our artists around the world as well. We have a lot of autonomy here, in terms of the Yukon government supporting the arts.
Actually, it's complemented by the federal government and the funding programs they have through CanNor. Again, this gets back to sharing, and best practices, and the idea of working with Nunavut. We have people here who could share what they have learned and what they are doing, both in business and as artists, with others across the north. I'd love to see more of that happen.
