I just want to be really clear. It's a bit complicated, and I want to read it clearly.
At this time, to be eligible for a PSAB contract, an indigenous business must be “51% owned and controlled” by indigenous people and must demonstrate an ability to make sure that “33% of the total value of work performed...is performed by the Indigenous business” or by subcontractors that also meet that 51% ownership and control criterion throughout the life of the contract.
I want to add as well that the 33% requirement does not mean that 33% of the business's employees must be indigenous. There's no requirement for that. That was a condition that existed a number of years ago, but on the advice of indigenous partners in 2018 and 2019, the government removed that requirement for employees because it created a barrier for some indigenous-owned and controlled businesses.
