Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I would like to thank all of the witnesses for their testimony, which is giving us possible solutions today. I found everything that they said interesting.
I would like us to take a step back from some issues that we have been discussing since the beginning, even though they may be very important, like access to capital.
Mr. Daniels said that there are other types of problems that first nations are facing, particularly with respect to education, housing, health and basic infrastructure, specifically issues related to drinking water.
I would like each of the witnesses to explain to us how all of those issues represent a barrier to entrepreneurship. There is the issue of capital, but first there needs to be entrepreneurs, people who want to do business.
How does this harm entrepreneurship, and what would be possible solutions?
We could certainly talk about equity, in the short term, to support indigenous entrepreneurship.
