I want to pick up on a question that I think my colleague was starting to ask before he ran out of time. In PSPC's 2019-20 DRR, the responsible minister notes the following:
PSPC also continued to leverage federal procurement to better include Indigenous businesses by providing them with increased opportunities to access the federal government market. The Department is working with Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, Indigenous Services Canada and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat to achieve a new target of at least 5 percent of federal contracts awarded to businesses managed and led by Indigenous Peoples.
What is the current percentage of all government contracts awarded to indigenous businesses, and how has this percentage evolved in the last number of years?
