The biggest consideration when it comes to the GDP in Yukon is that we don't have a large, diverse economy compared to other jurisdictions. We're not there with agriculture. We're not there with timber. We have very certain sectors.
One of our biggest ones is capital assets and capital builds. Our ability to make sure that the money stays in the community is what's really important to us. When we have companies coming up with design build contracts in which they have the ability to subcontract outside of the territory, that really affects our GDP.
We're looking at 10ยข on the dollar actually staying in Yukon when we don't wrap our heads around how to incorporate first nations communities and first nations development corporations into our considerations about how we actually do tendering processes and how we involve a local hire.
The most important thing that we can do is make sure that we break these bigger contracts down to bite-sized pieces. It's more of a reconciliation piece as well, taking a look at how we can actually make our communities more sustainable, our first nations communities as well. That comes down to looking at the capacities that we have right now and making sure that we as a government are there to effect the training that's necessary to move into those areas.
The second consideration is to make sure that we do a better job of forecasting into the future the builds that we're going to do, not just on a yearly basis but on a five-year basis, to make sure that all the communities know that we have certain funding in certain areas. That's going to help them realize capacities in year three, in year four, and in year five.
