Reports and Studies
A Final Roll-Up Report has also been produced by the sectoral follow-up session team of facilitators. This report provides an overview of the linkages and relationships between the sectoral follow-up
sessions.
Led by Industry Canada, the December 1314, 2004 Sectoral Follow-Up Session on Economic Opportunities was the fifth in a series of sectoral specific sessions intended to fulfill the commitment made
by Prime Minister Paul Martin at the conclusion of the April 19, 2004 Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable. An independent team of facilitators, responsible for facilitating the session, prepared
this report based on the notes of the discussions.
If you plan to start or expand a commercial business — large or small — or if you work in Aboriginal business development, a wealth of services is available. This reference
publication lists a wide range of programs and initiatives offered by the Government of Canada that can assist Aboriginal entrepreneurs and community ventures.
This report describes Aboriginal Business Canada's very positive impact on Aboriginal businesses and entrepreneurs, and on Aboriginal Financial Institutions and
business development organizations.
The report reflects the findings of 494 telephone interviews, which explored the needs and perceptions of Aboriginal Business Canada clients. It serves as a baseline
against which ABC can measure a number of service improvements being implemented.
Executive Summary (December 2001)
This study was commissioned by Aboriginal Business Canada to survey Aboriginal firms that were either current or recent clients of ABC and those that were non-clients. The study drew comparisons between the characteristics and performance of these firms and, when data allowed, other firms in the general Canadian business population.
This study was conducted to measure the impact of the financial support that ABC has provided to Aboriginal businesses during the 19962000 period; to compare this
impact to that achieved in earlier years and reported in an earlier study; and to obtain a better understanding of ABC's business clients by constructing a detailed profile of client
performance.
Aboriginal entrepreneurs are playing an
increasingly important role in the Canadian economy. The 1996 Census shows
there were more than 20 000 Indians, Métis and Inuit who where
self-employed. This report provides information and data on these
businesses.
