        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8799303\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you, Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8799304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Obed, it's good to see you. Thank you for coming. I don't think we've ever met, but I think I've probably seen you on a few flights, now that I think of it, because I imagine you fly through Edmonton.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8799305\" data-originallang=\"en\">You have told The Globe and Mail that the current standards for the indigenous business directory are far too inclusive. I found this quote to be interesting:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8799306\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We are now living in an era where there are tremendous opportunities to be had for qualifying as a First Nations, Inuit and M\u00e9tis business.... There are many actors in this country who want to take advantage of that. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8799307\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I understand you to be saying is that, if you have a self-identification model, you're going to have unscrupulous people who are going to self-identify in whatever way they determine to be in their interest to self-identify. That's why it's so important that we don't just have a sort of self-identification model for programs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8799308\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if you want to comment on that. Maybe just share your thoughts on this kind of self-identification model that we've been seeing in a lot of different places.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8799303\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8799304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Obed, je suis heureux de vous voir. Je vous remercie de votre pr\u00e9sence. Je ne pense pas que nous nous soyons d\u00e9j\u00e0 rencontr\u00e9s, mais je pense que je vous ai probablement d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu \u00e0 bord de quelques vols, maintenant que j'y pense, parce que j'imagine que vous devez passer par Edmonton.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8799305\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous avez dit au <em>Globe and Mail</em> que les normes actuelles du R\u00e9pertoire des entreprises autochtones sont beaucoup trop inclusives. J'ai trouv\u00e9 cette citation int\u00e9ressante:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8799306\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous vivons \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 les entreprises qui se qualifient en tant qu'entreprises des Premi\u00e8res Nations, des Inuits et des M\u00e9tis peuvent se pr\u00e9valoir d'occasions extraordinaires... De nombreux acteurs au pays veulent en profiter. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"8799307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que je comprends de ce que vous dites, c'est que si l'on a un mod\u00e8le d'auto-identification, il y aura des gens sans scrupules qui vont s'auto-identifier d'une fa\u00e7on ou d'une autre pour en retirer des avantages. C'est pourquoi il est si important qu'il n'y ait pas seulement un mod\u00e8le d'auto-identification pour se pr\u00e9valoir de ces programmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8799308\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si vous avez quelque chose \u00e0 dire \u00e0 ce sujet. Vous pourriez peut-\u00eatre nous faire part de vos r\u00e9flexions sur ce type de mod\u00e8le d'auto-identification que l'on voit beaucoup.</p>"
