Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, it's not available for those types of purposes generally. That's one of the reasons that RWED and ECE cooperated on the Arts Strategy. The Education, Culture and Employment side of the strategy is aimed at funding art for art's sake. Not for the business, not for tourism, not for promotion, not for administration, but art for art's sake. When you want to talk about tourism or the business side of arts, that's handled by RWED. So artists and arts organizations have to take a look at what their focus is and where they're looking to have the grants focus on when deciding where to put the applications in. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
