"In April 1996, the federal government launched the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB). The strategy is being implemented in phases. Phase 1 began April 1, 1996 with activities such as contracting review and supplier development, and the introduction of new measures in which specific contracts may be set aside for competition by Aboriginal businesses, especially where the population to be served is largely Aboriginal. Phase 2 started in January 1997 with multi-year Aboriginal procurement performance objectives targets established by federal departments and agencies with contracting expenditures valued at more than $1 million. The main objectives of the PSAB are to stimulate Aboriginal business development and increase the number of Aboriginal firms competing for and winning federal contracts"--Executive summary. gccst Aboriginal businesses gccst Assessment Canada.
