I understand the difference in roles here, but you said something in your opening comments that I'll quote. You said you have “reports of this strategy being taken advantage of. This is why Indigenous Services Canada is mandated to verify the eligibility of businesses receiving contracts under the procurement strategy for indigenous businesses. These audits led to over 1,100 ...businesses being removed from the indigenous business directory.”
It does seem that you are able to identify businesses that should be removed from the indigenous business directory.
Companies like the Canadian Health Care Agency have been removed from the indigenous business directory. The problem is that once they're removed, there are no further consequences. They're actually able to bid on other government contracts. It doesn't seem that you're having trouble identifying the instances where this has happened; the government is simply just choosing not to impose any consequences on them.
As a case in point, the Canadian Health Care Agency is still getting government contracts. They've been taken off the indigenous business directory, but they're still getting government contracts. Is that acceptable?
