I'll tell you the response I gave to the officials when I was at the AFN assembly in a dialogue session: I don't believe it. If we're not part of measuring the metrics and ensuring indigeneity of the people in that database and the contracts that are let, then you can't believe anything that is presented to you. Until I'm involved in something and our colleagues are involved in developing what and who we're measuring and using this indigenous business definition that we created, then I'm not going to accept any target.
