The Framework makes use of a modern and comprehensive approach to Aboriginal economic development that is opportunity-driven and places emphasis on building strategic partnerships with Aboriginal groups, the private sector, and the provinces and territories. The federal government is working to improve access to capital, encourage increased Aboriginal participation in procurement activity and support greater access to business expertise and services. Increasing Aboriginal participation in the economy and strengthening entrepreneurship creates jobs and improves the well-being and quality of life for Aboriginal people, and all of Canada.
