It is true that it is hard to reach a consensus. The government can make other choices regarding the partners. There could for instance be separate lists for each category.
Right now, we're still in discussion with indigenous partners about the best way to do this.
For example, maybe each partner could have its own list. I think what we would all agree on at this committee is that we don't want to do anything that weakens the opportunity for businesses. It's a delicate piece of work to find a path to transfer the list in a way that doesn't make it harder for government departments to procure from indigenous businesses.
What I really don't want to see is the government saying that this is too hard, so it won't do it at all. I think everybody at this table agrees that this is a big, important piece of Canada's GDP growth.
