Yes, it's an additional burden to businesses to run the process of the IBD. It's not that they're not meeting the criteria of the federal IBD; it's the onerous process that's there.
Again, as per my opening remarks, they're already in our recognized, verified, validated directory. To get into the federal directory is to run a gauntlet.
I'll give you an example. There's a Métis business that's engaged right now. We've facilitated the interactions with a prime contractor of the Government of Canada's defence contracts. It's 3 billion dollars' worth of contracts. It's a fantastic connection. The prime contractor is keenly interested in doing business with our Red River Métis business. As a result, that business has had to register on the federal IBD because that prime contractor has that 5% obligation task on. It's been at it for six weeks to essentially get recognized on the federal IBD.
Quite frankly, it would be very simple if there was just an acknowledgement that the business registered in our directory, which is verified and validated, is recognized. In that case, we would have just saved that Red River Métis business owner a whole bunch of time, energy and money.
