Improving accountability is one reason that we focused efforts on defining an Inuit business. It makes it easier to track, whether or not businesses that the government would report as indigenous or Inuit fall within that definition. As a threshold matter, getting information out of the government in terms of how contracts are awarded requires a robust definition, which is what we have worked toward to date. The next step is, again, getting some degree of transparency in reporting.
The flip side of that, on remedy, is broader recognition of the relevance of fraud within this space—we noted that there were instances of fraud, just not in the space of procurement or economic development to date—as well as potential Criminal Code reforms, which would work as an analogue to similar laws in other countries to prevent organizational or corporate fraud in order to secure contracts under the cloak of being an indigenous business.
