Abstract
The path toward economic reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Canada is a complex and vital journey that requires careful consideration of historical injustices and contemporary challenges. This paper focuses on the role of public procurement in addressing economic disparities and strengthening the nation-to-nation relationship between the Government of Canada and Indigenous communities. It provides an overview of public procurement's strategic importance, analyzes Indigenous federal procurement data from 2009 to May 2023 to identify trends and areas for improvement, and presents insights from a 2023 Indigenous procurement survey. Key findings emphasize the need to align Indigenous business capacities with procurement activities, promote inclusivity, and establish effective communication and mentorship programs. Implementing these recommendations can advance economic reconciliation and promote fairness within Canadian society.
