What we have here, and I'm thinking that the people I've talked to in your organizations, the Fisheries and Oceans people, is that the wording has everything to do with everything, of course.
The wording for eligible recipient criteria is “an Aboriginal group”. We are a group/company, and we are registered with the Indigenous Business Directory of Canada. The Indigenous Business Directory of Canada clearly states that if you're not in this directory, you cannot avail yourself of any opportunities with the Canadian government.
We are there as Terra Services Inc. and Patey's Safety and Industrial Limited. We are in the business directory, and we need the wording changed to “indigenous group/company as being registered in the Indigenous Business Directory of Canada”.
If that were changed, it would get rid of a lot of the red tape that we are now seeing. It would be a lot smoother sailing.
