Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. This goes back to a previous Member's statement I had on procurement. My question is for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment on the issue of procurement from Indigenous-owned and -operated businesses:
- For the 2019-2020 fiscal year, what percentage of capital expenditures were spent with Indigenous-owned and -operated businesses;
- What steps has the Government of the Northwest Territories taken to identify and remove barriers for Indigenous businesses to participate in the modern economy; and
- What incentives or programs does the Government of the Northwest Territories have in place to provide for the purchase of goods and services from Indigenous-owned and -operated businesses?
Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker.
