Taking out the recycling

As these contracts are let, then we notify people in the communities that they are let. So there is a double process there, but it's not about getting a second bang for a buck on these things. As a matter of fact, it's about informing people early and then once the contracts are awarded is letting them know after. But to come in and double- and triple-announce money, that's giving the appearance of being new money, that's misleading.

Recent CEDP funding approved for the arts sector is as follows:

• $8,000 to the Labrador Creative Arts Festival to offset the cost of its 33rd annual festival, held in Happy Valley-Goose Bay this past fall;
• $2,600 to Flora Planchett, which helped her take advantage of a professional development opportunity at the Live Design conference and trade show held in Las Vegas this past fall.

Yip: Letting them know after.
