In May 2012 CNMN President Tim Brady met with Mr. Pierre Lalonde of the Department of Canadian Heritage to discuss the issues around recording grants at FACTOR. M. Lalonde was quite receptive to CNMN’s perspective, and we are currently working with Heritage Canada and FACTOR to try to improve the jury system and funding structure so that greater diversity of music, including new musical practices, are adequately represented in the FACTOR process.
