Breaking through the invisible screen: removing hidden procurement barriers

OpinionBY SARAH JACKNIFE
  • While Canada has opened its door for Indigenous businesses to access economic development opportunities, there is also an invisible screen door, permitting Indigenous businesses to see the opportunities but unable to step through.
