I would like to add that if we viewed investing in indigenous businesses as an investment, we'd see that the social impacts for an indigenous-owned business in the community include a 72% increase in life satisfaction, a 52% increase in mental health indicators and a 19% increase in health indicators, so there are actually cost savings there.
There are also ancillary benefits to other community members with that business. There are community-owned businesses that have bid on contracts within their own community and have been weeded out because of the complexity of the bidding process. There needs to be a full change on how this is set up so that the community-owned business is at the front of the line, because they're going to be hiring their community members and the benefits are going to remain in that community. Right now, the system is set up to fail, as Philip has pointed out. We need to remove those barriers, just like we have with so many other barriers in front of us, and we're going to see a lot more impact.
