here is a sample

Creators' Assistance Program
The Creators' Assistance Program will help artists create high-quality Canadian musical works, and give Canadian talent the tools to fully develop their creative and business skills. Songwriters and composers tend to work in isolation, with few opportunities to share their expertise and develop their talent in a collaborative environment. They also lack public profile, even though countless Canadians may enjoy their music. This initiative aims to support community building and skills development, and to increase awareness of their works.

here is another

Music Entrepreneur Program
The Music Entrepreneur Program (MEP) will ensure that Canadian music entrepreneurs build a strong, sustainable industry that continues to contribute to the Canadian musical experience.
The MEP will provide company-based funding to allow Canada's music entrepreneurs to make the transition to the digital economy, effectively develop Canadian talent, and ultimately become self-sufficient. This program will invest in eligible established industry professionals with viable multi-year business plans, giving them critical assistance to consolidate and develop their human, financial, and technological resource base.
The end result will be to empower entrepreneurs with solid business skills.
