Scope and contentThis file contains a presentation by Wayne Taylor illustrating the numerous barriers Aboriginal people face in seeking involvement in small business and economic development in Canada. The Edmonton Chamber of Commerce has recognized challenges such as lack of skills, lack of direct linkages with the business community, and prohibitive government policy that impedes the progress of Aboriginals becoming small business owners. The Chamber has hosted numerous meetings in recent years with Aboriginal organizations and created networking opportunities for Aboriginals to enter small business ownership. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
