Thank you for that.
However, in the 2018 study, government officials also testified that they encouraged indigenous businesses to enter joint ventures with non-indigenous businesses to bid on contracts. In your opinion, should this practice be encouraged, or should the focus be entirely on improving socio-economic outcomes for first nations? I shouldn't say “entirely”; it should be entirely based on that, but should that be done through not encouraging indigenous businesses to enter joint ventures with non-indigenous businesses?
