Indigenous Business
The Government of Canada supports companies majority-owned by Indigenous peoples through the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB), which provides them with an opportunity to bid on government procurement contracts and as a result, strengthens Indigenous entrepreneurship.
The Government of Canada is increasing economic opportunities for First Nations, Inuit and Métis businesses through the federal procurement process. The mandatory 5% minimum Indigenous procurement target is being implemented in 3 phases to allow departments and agencies to update planning and processes to support implementation.
All departments and agencies are to meet or exceed the 5% target no later than the fiscal year-end of 2024 to 2025.
