Last, another support for first nations trade growth would be the creation of a trade investment fund for first nations. By investing in first nations value chain enhancement, indigenous businesses would grow by creating further employment opportunities, increasing incomes for first nations business employees. This fund would promote the economic vitality of first nations by adding value in communities most affected by development by providing sustainable and predictable financial supports for first nations business entities interested in reaching new international markets.
These specific programs and incentives, like the development of an indigenous trade investment fund, should empower first nations by helping ease barriers such as access to capital and trade literacy.
