Without a doubt, as this is not only a date or an anniversary, but also a big celebration. I am sure that artists will come pitch projects to me. I know that the National Arts Centre has an ambitious cultural plan for 2017. I am certain that the Canada Council for the Arts is also planning some activities for 2017. Very recently, I spoke with people from the Canadian Arts Coalition. They had a plan and a request. According to their plan, we could introduce some artists that people have not often had an opportunity to see in the regions. They could appear in various regions of the country.
It's certain that many ideas will be submitted and that the number of funding requests will also be very high. We will have to keep taxpayers' limits in mind, while we organize some truly unique celebrations.
