Yes. It also touches on the position of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami that the enforcement should not be given to a third party external to government. The federal government has the tools to enforce. Third parties often do not. They don't have the legislative base. They don't have the resources. Often they don't have the general terms and conditions from government to do that particular work.
If we want to be real about ensuring that indigenous peoples benefit from these indigenous incentives—the entire structure, why this exists at all, is based on inequity and based on the rights of indigenous peoples to participate—we need enforcement, recourse and remedy for those who wish to take advantage of these systems or do not qualify for them. What we've pushed for at ITK is a very clear definition of who Inuit are. We've created an Inuit Nunangat policy. It was adopted by the Government of Canada in April 2022. It clearly defines within it who Inuit in Canada are. We've already done that through our treaties as well. We continue to work with government to try to have every corner of the federal system understand who Inuit are, and who is in and who is outside of that catchment.
Unfortunately, in the research community and also in the procurement community, the guidelines about who is eligible often are far too inclusive and are at odds with the Inuit Nunangat policy.
