Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for being here, Ms. Suitor, Mr. Metatawabin, Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Ducharme, and also for your patience. I am extremely grateful to you.
You talked about the government initiatives that have been put in place since 1996, but you also talked about how difficult it is, at times, to find qualified employees within the community itself. That reminded me of something. Seventeen years ago, I took part in the E‑Spirit aboriginal business plan competition. That was an indigenous entrepreneurship competition whose goal was precisely to foster young people's desire to go to school and excel, to be able to acquire skills, and so on. As far as I know, that competition no longer exists.
To improve the qualification, what initiatives would work—because to date, we are seeing things that sometimes work and sometimes don't—and would enable indigenous businesses to find qualified employees within their communities?
Do you want to answer my question, Mr. Metatawabin?
