Thank you. During the last year, we did really, I don't want to say lower the bar, but we made it a lot easier for this to be accessed. I did have a number of FTPs and one-on-one calls with the federal Minister, as well. They did provide some arts relief, but it was not structured for our territory. It was flowed through larger organizations that represent artists, but we don't have such organizations here. I did a lot of advocacy on behalf of that. In the second round of money, I think that there was a bit more flexibility to it, but not to the extent that people would like. To the Member's point, as well, the support for artists is also often support for people's livelihoods, as well, because if you're making and selling crafts, that type of support is needed. I can ask the deputy minister if she has anything else to add. Thank you.
