Thank you, Madame Chair.
Thank you so much for being here today. We decided to extend this study because we wanted to listen to indigenous voices and make sure that you were part of this study. I'm hopeful that we will have great recommendations to encourage indigenous women to participate in international trade and continue to do business across the nation.
My questions are really to help us see how we can engage indigenous women and make sure they have the platform to be able to do some trade internationally. I was wondering if you know how the women entrepreneurship strategy is helpful in bringing light and support for women to do this.
I'll start with Madame Perron. First, I understand that NACCA received over $1.2 million to support indigenous women. Maybe that is an example you could share of how it is helping or what else we could do to support.
