Thank you.
I also acknowledge that we're doing business today on the unceded lands of the Algonquin and Anishinabe people. I live in Nuu-chah-nulth territory in the Hupačasath and Tseshaht communities and nations.
I'll start with you, Mr. Metatawabin. First, 50% of the population is indigenous in large areas of my riding. The 5% threshold doesn't work. It should be much higher. In Nunavut, 80% of the population is Inuit.
Can you speak about how that needs to be fixed and adjusted? Maybe you can also speak about jurisdictions where there has been more success than Canada has had in terms of ensuring that the equity is fair when it comes to indigenous peoples and procurement.
