component of Manitoba's
economic strategy. It intends to develop a provincial economy that is
more inclusive<(>,<)>

Part of the IPI is the establishment of an Indigenous Business Directory
which can be a
valuable networking tool. This directory is a list of Canadian
Indigenous Businesses
(including non-profit organizations and economic development
corporations) that have
self-declared as an Indigenous Business.
For more information about the Indigenous Business Directory and the
Indigenous Procurement Initiative go to:

INDIGENOUS BUSINESS STANDARD:
Indigenous participation is desired but bids will not be disqualified if
there is no
Indigenous business participation.
