Here is a response I provided to a group I am working with to support inclusion efforts: I believe there needs to be a point of measure to ensure that?TRUE?Indigenous Businesses are seeing the results of these inclusion targets. These targets need to be policed, and there needs to be consequences for inaction. There also needs to be supports in place to ensure that we have the best shot at winning these opportunities, as well as a process to ensure the right feedback is given to the bidder, as well as the procurement team to ensure that any potential barriers are identified and potential corrective measures are implemented in an expedited manner. This process needs to move at the speed of business, not government.
