Thank you, Chair.
Thank you very much, Mr. Ducharme and Chief Bernard, for being here with us today.
I want to go back to some previous testimony, Mr. Ducharme, from 2018—prior to the August 6, 2021, announcement—to measure what you said—or what you suggested, I should say—versus what the government produced.
In 2018, when OGGO previously studied this issue, your organization sent in a brief stating that the federal government should award points to bidders based on their relationships with indigenous businesses and communities to ensure that there is indigenous engagement throughout their supply chain.
Is this a recommendation that was accepted and acted upon by this government, in your opinion?
