I would like to clarify that the witness said that, to be certified as Métis, you simply have to show that you have a Métis great-grandfather, for example, whereas for first nations, there could be a loss of status as early as the second generation. If I were a first nations person, I think my grandson might not be, even though I considered him to be a first nations person. That has a definite impact.
Like that witness, I would like to know the number of Inuit businesses, the number of Métis businesses and the number of first nations businesses in your directory, as well as the number of contracts awarded to each group.
I would like you to send us that information in writing within the next 21 days, please.
I have 15 seconds left.
