The way the policy of the Treasury Board works is that we have been assigned a target of 5%. I don't get to pick that. That's the target. It's 5% of the contracts that we award. It's not contracts that we've paid.
If in a certain year we have a contract that's for three years, it's the year it is awarded. Then in year two and year three, the numbers go down, because it's not the year that we awarded it, which is why it fluctuates so much.
We had targeted last year.... I think it's 9% that you said. I think we'll meet 12%, because we were in the cycle of having to buy new laptops, and we bought them from an indigenous company, so we will meet 12%.
We don't do a lot of contracts. I have no money. We do just a little bit. We always try to prioritize indigenous groups. We will likely do an evaluation this year, so we'll see if we can get an indigenous company, but the 5% is the target that's given to us.
