I suppose that it is never too late to start one, but I'm not sure why you would want to. Canada provides so very little support and funding for classical music, and its population is mostly interested in popular music, including the emerging trends of "Indie" music, which Canada is perhaps the biggest proponent and leader of. Overall, classical musicians of Canadian descent end up in the United States, where there is more funding and a larger market for classical music.
You need interest in classical music before a group of composers come together, backed with some degree of funding and guaranteed performances, before a country can actually say that "these composers represent Canadian classical music."
I don't see that happening, nor would I want it to happen: there is enough nationalist mumbo-jumbo floating about, no need for more.
