Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the officials. Thank you for the work you're doing, and thank you for your testimony today.
Once again, Madam Wilson, congratulations on the shout-out.
Madam Wilson, in a number of your responses to other questions, you said that you would like to be able to create awareness of, promote and advocate for the indigenous participation plans. That came about as a result of your trying to respond to other questions.
I'll give you the time that you want to be able to talk about the indigenous participation plan, but I would like you to talk about it through the lens that we heard it through from others at our committee when we were doing this study, especially the Plato president. It's the fact that the process is very cumbersome. It's very cumbersome, especially for the small indigenous organizations. If you're trying to help them get more businesses, what are we doing? Does this indigenous participation plan have anything to do with building capacity, making it easier and also helping them generate awareness of the opportunities that exist? Is your department moving in any of those directions?
The floor is yours, ma'am.
