An interesting thing is that we recently launched the indigenous growth fund. This is a partnership with Canada. The Business Development Bank of Canada assisted us in creating this fund and Farm Credit Canada and the EDC participated. We've already launched this. We're deploying capital to our members right now.
This is going to solve some of that access to capital, and we want to grow this over the long term. What I'm presenting today is to use that model and its success, and the success of the model for our AFIs, to deliver mortgages to the community by creating and jump-starting a new fund. This will be specifically for mortgages. Right now, we have two AFIs: ABSCAN in Quebec and ANTCO in B.C. Between both of them, they've delivered $30 million in mortgages. They issue bonds and they raise capital.
What we're trying to do is put this on steroids for all of Canada to access that percentage of the communities that are looking for mortgages; they have a full-time job, but they're not given a fair shake by lenders, who are afraid of the Indian Act and providing assets on a reserve. This is going to meet that need. There are other communities in Canada providing mortgages on reserves and this would jump-start that. There's an opportunity of $3 billion to $4 billion.
If the Government of Canada participates and gets that snowball rolling, it will grow as we access the mortgages and raise more capital on the markets. It's a good model. I think we should put that in your report for sure.
