NACCA APPLAUDS INCLUSION IN FEDERAL BUDGET 2024, ENABLING INDIGENOUS ENTREPRENEURIAL ADVANCEMENT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, April 17, 2024 – The National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA) is pleased that Minister Freeland included NACCA and the IFI network in the Federal Budget 2024, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of Indigenous entrepreneurialism and economic prosperity.

The allocation of $350 million for the IFI Network in Budget 2024 is a clear indication the Government of Canada understands the necessity to invest in the Indigenous economy. The success of the 35 plus year track of NACCA providing funding to the network of Indigenous Financial Institutions (IFIs) who endeavour to create and support Indigenous entrepreneurs is validated by this announcement. The funding will play a pivotal role in supporting Indigenous self-determination and economic empowerment. This crucial investment underscores the government’s recognition of the importance of Indigenous Peoples, businesses, and communities fully engaging in the economy, in alignment with their constitutionally protected rights.

“The inclusion of NACCA in Budget 2024 demonstrates the government’s commitment to advancing Indigenous economic prosperity,” said Shannin Metatawabin, CEO of NACCA. “This funding will enable us to continue our transformative work, breaking down systemic barriers and fostering economic participation aligned with Indigenous cultural values. We acknowledge and thank the Government of Canada for their strong belief, support and inclusion of NACCA and the network of IFIs as we look forward to a continuance of collaborative positive outcomes towards Indigenous Prosperity.”

NACCA, comprising a network of 50+ Indigenous Financial Institutions (IFIs), has been quietly catalyzing Indigenous business development for over 35 years. Through its steadfast commitment, NACCA has facilitated the issuance of 53,000 loans totalling $3.3 billion to small and medium-sized Indigenous businesses across Canada.

These funds will go a long way in supporting vital programs, those empowering Indigenous women and youth entrepreneurs, essential for leveraging private sector capital and deploying loans to Indigenous businesses. Additionally, a $150 million injection into the Indigenous Growth Fund aims to not only attract additional investors but also to establish a sustainable reservoir of capital. This capital infusion is designed to foster ongoing prosperity for Indigenous enterprises.

NACCA’s impact extends beyond financial metrics directly having positive social impact on Indigenous communities. This includes facilitating economic growth, job creation, and community development; particularly in remote areas where conventional lenders hesitate to invest. In 35+ years, NACCA’s contributions have amounted to approximately $12 billion in economic growth, creating over 126,000 jobs while improving the well-being of Indigenous communities.

The government’s investment in NACCA underscores its commitment to building a more inclusive and prosperous future for all Canadians. NACCA extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Government and the many MPs and Senators from all parties/groups for their unwavering support of NACCA’s mission.

LES ORGANISATIONS ÉCONOMIQUES AUTOCHTONES NATIONALES SONT FIERS DE LANCER L’ORGANISATION D’ APPROVISIONNEMENT DES PREMIÈRES NATIONS

POUR PUBLICATION IMMÉDIATE

Ottawa, Ontario – Cinq organisations économiques autochtones nationales se sont regroupées avec le soutien total de l’Assemblée des Premières Nations (APN) pour créer une Organisation d’approvisionnement des Premières Nations (OAPN), la première du genre.

Les organisations se sont réunies le 6 décembre 2023 pour mettre en place cette initiative novatrice visant à aider les peuples et les entreprises des Premières Nations à surmonter les obstacles systémiques qui les empêchent d’accéder aux marchés publics fédéraux. L’OAPN contribuera également à faire en sorte que le Canada atteigne son objectif de 5 % d’approvisionnement autochtone en mesurant les progrès et les données.

Le gouvernement fédéral dépense chaque année environ 22 milliards de dollars pour l’achat de biens et de services auprès d’entreprises à travers le Canada. À l’heure actuelle, moins d’un pour cent de ces dépenses est consacré aux entreprises autochtones.

L’OAPN rassemble des organisations et des dirigeants du secteur économique des Premières Nations d’un océan à l’autre. Avec le soutien de l’APN, le groupe comprend l’AFOA Canada, le Conseil pour l’avancement des agents de développement autochtones (CAADA), l’Autorité financière des Premières Nations (AFPN), le Conseil de gestion financière des Premières Nations (CGF) et l’Association nationale des sociétés autochtones de financement (ANSAF).

Cette collaboration historique entre les membres fondateurs peut maintenant commencer à concevoir et à mettre en œuvre des programmes visant à favoriser l’autosuffisance des communautés des Premières Nations partout au Canada. Le lancement de l’organisation est entièrement approuvé et soutenu par une résolution adoptée par les dirigeants élus des Premières Nations lors de l’Assemblée générale de l’Assemblée des Premières Nations en juillet 2023. L’OAPN est défendue par une coalition unie d’organisations partenaires des Premières Nations, représentant une alliance sans précédent visant à déclencher un changement transformateur. Grâce à un dévouement sans faille, l’OAPN est en passe de devenir un catalyseur de changements monumentaux dans l’écosystème de l’approvisionnement et de la croissance économique au sein des communautés des Premières Nations.

« Cette initiative incarne une lueur d’espoir, symbolisant la force et la détermination collectives des représentants des Premières Nations unis dans leur volonté de combler les disparités économiques qui persistent depuis longtemps », déclare Shannin Metatawabin, chef de la direction de l’ANSAF. « L’OAPN témoigne de l’ingéniosité et de la résilience des Autochtones, ouvrant la voie à un avenir où la parité économique et la prospérité seront réalisées par les Premières Nations, favorisant ainsi un contexte d’opportunités à travers le Canada. »

Les entreprises des Premières Nations font preuve de résilience en surmontant les obstacles tout en s’efforçant de participer pleinement aux opportunités d’approvisionnement. Ces entrepreneurs se heurtent à des préjugés systémiques ancrés dans l’écosystème actuel de l’approvisionnement et doivent, pour réussir à répondre aux appels d’offres, surmonter des défis administratifs multiformes et rechercher des outils améliorés leur permettant de répondre aux demandes complexes des gouvernements.

« Les marchés publics sont conçus pour éviter les risques, ce qui signifie qu’il est difficile pour les entreprises de remporter des contrats si elles n’ont pas déjà travaillé avec le gouvernement », a déclaré Jean Vincent, président du conseil d’administration de l’ANSAF. Nous savons que cela exclut de nombreuses entreprises des Premières Nations et qu’il est difficile d’atteindre l’objectif de 5 % de la valeur totale de leur marché. Cependant, grâce à cette organisation et en travaillant ensemble pour le bien de l’économie des Premières Nations, nous savons que nous aurons des répercussions considérables qui profiteront à tout le monde.

La structure et la conception sont la priorité de l’OAPN, et l’organisation travaillera directement avec le gouvernement fédéral pour obtenir un financement pour les cinq premières années de fonctionnement. Une fois opérationnel, le processus de soutien aux entreprises des Premières Nations pour qu’elles participent aux opportunités d’approvisionnement commencera.

À propos de l’OAPN
Un modèle d’adhésion innovant

Structure des membres et flux de services :

La structure d’adhésion à l’OAPN donnera la priorité aux services gratuits pour les entreprises certifiées des Premières Nations, tandis que les clients gouvernementaux et les entreprises paieront une cotisation. L’institut proposera quatre types de services :

  • Réseautage, collaboration et partenariats : créer un espace et des opportunités pour le réseautage et l’établissement de relations, permettant aux entreprises des Premières Nations d’établir des liens avec le gouvernement et les entreprises.

  • Promotion de l’approvisionnement des Premières Nations : plaidoyer, événements et outils pour favoriser des relations mutuellement bénéfiques.

NATIONAL INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC ORGANIZATIONS SPEARHEAD FIRST NATIONS PROCUREMENT ORGANIZATION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, Ontario – Five national Indigenous economic organizations have banded together with full support of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) to create a first of its kind, First Nations Procurement Organization (FNPO).

The organizations gathered on December 6, 2023, to establish this groundbreaking initiative to help First Nations peoples and businesses overcome systemic barriers in accessing federal procurement opportunities. The FNPO will also help ensure Canada meets its minimum five percent Indigenous procurement target by measuring progress and data.

The federal government spends approximately $22 billion every year procuring goods and services from businesses across Canada. Currently, less than one percent of that spend goes towards Indigenous businesses.

The FNPO brings together organizations and leadership from within the First Nations economic landscape from coast to coast to coast. With support from AFN, the group includes AFOA Canada, the Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers (CANDO), First Nations Finance Authority (FNFA), First Nations Financial Management Board (FMB), and the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA).

This historic collaboration of founding members can now begin the journey of design and the ultimate implementation of programming to foster self-sustainability among First Nations communities across Canada. The launch of the organization is fully endorsed and supported by a resolution passed by First Nations elected leaders at the Assembly of First Nations General Assembly in July 2023. The FNPO is championed by a united coalition of First Nation partner organizations, representing an unprecedented alliance aimed at igniting transformative change. With unwavering dedication, the FNPO is poised to become a catalyst for monumental change in the procurement ecosystem and economic growth within First Nation communities.

“This initiative embodies a beacon of hope, symbolizing the collective strength and determination of First Nations representatives united in their resolve to bridge the economic disparities that have long persisted,” says NACCA CEO Shannin Metatawabin. “The FNPO stands as a testament to Indigenous ingenuity and resilience, paving the way towards a future where economic parity and prosperity are realized by First Nations, fostering a landscape of opportunity across Canada.”.

First Nations businesses showcase resilience in navigating barriers while striving to engage fully in procurement opportunities. These entrepreneurs encounter systemic biases embedded within the existing procurement ecosystem and to be successful in bidding opportunities, must overcome multi-faceted administrative challenges, and seek enhanced tools empowering them to address intricate government requests.

“Government procurement is designed to be risk-averse, which means that it’s hard for companies to win contracts unless they have historically worked with the government,” said Jean Vincent, chair of the NACCA Board of Directors. We know this excludes many First Nations businesses and we know it makes meeting the five percent procurement target challenging. However, through this organization, and by working together collaboratively for the good of the First Nations economy, we know we will create huge impacts that benefit everyone.

Structure and design are the priority for the FNPO, and the organization will work directly with the federal government to secure funding for the first five years of operation. Once operational, the process of supporting First Nations businesses to participate in procurement opportunities will begin.

About the FNPO

Certified First Nation businesses will be able to register at no cost. FNPOs revenue streams will include corporate memberships, training, and events.

FNPOs Mission and Vision:

The FNPO will serve as a central hub, offering culturally appropriate wraparound services via a single point of contact for First Nation procurement needs. Its mission is clear: maximize the potential for First Nations’ businesses to successfully access and win procurement opportunities through certification, networking, education, and promotion.

This mission will also enable the federal government to reach its minimum five (5) percent Indigenous procurement target.

Membership Structure and Streams of Services:

FNPOs membership structure will prioritize free services for certified First Nations businesses, while government and corporate clients will pay a membership fee. The institute will offer four streams of services:

  • First Nation Business Certification and Directory: A comprehensive database for the federal government and companies to access all certified First Nations businesses and suppliers.
