Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Mills, when you were here on November 9, you made the following statement regarding the procurement strategy for indigenous businesses:
What is important to understand is that under the procurement strategy for indigenous businesses, 33% of contracted or subcontracted resources must be indigenous, not for a particular task authorization but for the overall value of the contract. Therefore, indigenous businesses can subcontract with non‑indigenous businesses.
This isn't an issue. However, from what I remember, in the strategy it was 5%. Can you explain the 33% figure? I'm not trying to needle you. I just want to understand.
